And when I was cycling across Ely recently (from the station to the Football
Club since you ask) I didn't see a single cyclist ignoring traffic lights.

You probably only passed Pelican/Toucan crossings, but you don't have to
stand next to one very long to see cyclists whizzing through them at
red. Especially the one by the station when a London train is due in the
morning.

Oddly enough, lots of cars treat the one by the station as a zebra, and
stop to let pedestrians across even when green. Can be very confusing!

If its very slow traffic I'll do that. There's no reason not to let people
cross if your car can only move forward a few metres anyway.
