Another trip to a European city to add to my list – Copenhagen. Much like Rotterdam, Stockholm, and Berlin, people don’t wear helmets, dress up with enough lights to fit a christmas tree, or high visibility clothing.
On my return to the UK, I read another article in the Daily Mail that is clearly designed to whip up public anger, nominally on the topic of cyclists jumping read lights.
Anecdotally, I have noticed an increase in the number of vehicles jumping reds, perhaps inspired by the cyclists who do the same. The difference between the two is that a cyclist jumping a red will mostly endanger themselves, while a vehicle doing the same may have consequences of an order of magnitude more severe.
