Of the 151 cyclists we saw when the lights were red, only 36 stopped for the green #LBC #uk #uknews #ukpolitics #cycling #Shorts #london
Excuse me, sir. Do you know you’re breaking the law? Raw breaker. We’re here this morning witnessing law breaking on a mass scale. Thousands of cyclists go through this set of traffic lights outside Black Fry Station every day, but a shocking number are running the red. We’ve got a peppy line biker coming up to the red lights. What is she going to do? She’s going to very sensibly obey the law. Oh no. After a little bit of thought, she’s gone through the red light. Law reabiding citizens right here. Congrats, guys. You’re not breaking the law. Sir, it’s a red. Do you know you’re breaking the law? Rule breaker. Rule breaker. Highspeed rule breaker. So, the results are in. In the time that we’ve been here, we’ve seen over a hundred cyclists running the

If the majority of people are breaking the rule, it's the rule that's the problem.
Boris lanes a bit like his migration wave and Brexit .. all Labour’s fault shouted the Reformers and Tories
This kind of lazy journalism puts lights at risk. Adding to the them and us mentality. Get a radar gun and stand on a motorway bridge and you will find just as many law breakers but what does it prove?
Uncommon sense is a serious problem with no cure anymore.
What Law?! There is no Law! 😏🇬🇧
You need to come to Cambridge, they go through red light, wrong way up one way streets, no lights at night, all in black, don't let me start about electric scooters and bikes, especially delivery persons.
In 2024, 230 pedestrians were killed by car drivers. One pedestrian was killed by a cyclist. (UK Govt stats). So the massive risk to pedestrians is from being hit by 2 tons of car, not a few kilos of cycle. That doesn't excuse red light jumping, but gives some context as to why our hard pressed police prioritise speeding and dangerous driving more than cycles.
All that prattle and yet nobody was killed by bikes in London last year. Car driving through red lights on the other hand would result in hundreds of road deaths. I would be grateful that there are people who are willing to sweat a little to buy your children a better environmental future. Peal clutching and whining achieves nothing and making the police waste their time enforcing it would cost a fortune and remove them from the few real crimes they bother to even investigate.
What a looser 😂
Is this supposed to be journalism?
My new favourite from many cyclists nowadays is the ones that ride through roadworks (whether work men arw there or not) and try to merge into the moving traffic and getting verbal when vehicles won't move out the way to let them filter.
Unimaginative click bait journalism. I certainly wouldn't not condone skipping red lights. But maybe a more insightful piece on why this happens so much at this junction in Blackfriars would serve the public better? Maybe even a comparison to Holland where this is actually a solved problem.
Surely, cyclists are always in the right, aren’t they?
Giddee up
I tend to stick more on the path
Dont think bikes should be on the road
One of those cyclists looked like joey Barton
How many cars did she shout at?
Over 100 cyclists broke a law? Millions, literally millions, of cars do the same EVERY DAY and nobody bats an eyelid…
Go to a 20mph known for speeding zone and see how many drivers break the law.
No other stories to cover ?
Piano wire would help.
True joy
I've only once seen a cyclist stopped at red lights.
Clapping as someone goes through a green light.
I think she missed the point 😂
Yep and do t get fined like drivers do
Employ the stinger 😁
It might be a problem if I could see any cars on that road.
Can you do a video on the amount of drivers that break the speed limit.
Thieves are above the law in the UK. Just get a crime number move on.
It’s not illegal it’s just frowned upon!
Moral panic about a non-issue…
Get a grip
Clapping for those that would have gone through, had it been RED lol 😂
