Why Do Some Cyclists Run Red Lights?
I am trying to understand something in life. Why do some cyclists run red lights, and perhaps do other things that contravene the highway code. I know there's an excuse of some cyclists feet are attached to the pedals, or that it takes a lot more effort to pull off from a standing start, but then a car is the same, with…
