Punishment for cyclists?

[Theophany]

Actually I've deleted my initial reply, it's clear you're just a cyclist hating troll based on the beginning of your post, probably jealous of cyclists more than anything.

I'm not. In fact, I haven't been an active motorist for ten months now. Even when I was, cyclists didn't irritate me - as far as I'm concerned you're an accepted hazard to motorists. It's that simple. You can muck around all you like, but the motorist is the one who will usually be at fault. If you drive, you have to accept that consequence and be aware of people on pushbikes and compensate for them.

As a pedestrian, however, you are far more irritating than any cars, vans, lorries or buses. I've been hit by cyclists at red lights as a pedestrian. No motorist has ever come close to hitting me. Cyclists seem to believe they don't have to stop.

But yes, I'm jealous of cyclists. However that logic makes sense...?

Strangely my only two offs in London have been down to pedestrians stepping into the road. On both occasions it was at pedestrian crossings where my light was green and theirs was red and on both occasions the pedestrians stopped, looked, waited and then stepped out in front of me when it was too late to do anything about it.

Electric cars are going to be the death of iPeds.

Pedestrians run red lights too.. I've lost count of the amount of pedestrians I've nearly slammed into at speed because they see a cyclist coming and expect then to stop despite it being on a green light.
