Outrageous!

I've just seen 200 cyclists go through a red light and it was on TV with thousands and thousands of witnesses too so there's loads of proof!

It's an absolute disgrace - make them pay tax then hang them by their lycra is what I say.

    Is it possible that some motorbikes and a few cars containing friends of the cyclists went through too :shock:

    The police saw them and didn't do a thing. All of the crowd (car drivers too) condoned that behaviour.
    Things are changing in cyclists' favour then. :wink:

    All observations correct, poseurs in team kit with support vehicles and a police escort......it had to be the CTC.

    Yeah I saw this. They were all FPKW's though. Probably on some sort of sportive.
    They weren't proper cyclists 8)

    they are just trying to emulate the pros. One of them was even wearing a TDF yellow jersey, how embarrassing.
