Likewise, cyclists whose machines do not trigger sensors are not
obliged to die of exposure for that reason.

Cyclists can always dismount and walk across the junction.

It is still an offence to pass the stop line whilst wheeling a
bicycle though.


Really? I thought if you wheeled a bicycle you became a
pedestrian, as with a shopping trolley.


Anyway, if you wheel your bicycle past the stop line on the
pavement, surely you count as a pedestrian then?


Not AIUI. If you CROSS the road, you are a pedestrian, if you move
with the traffic flow, either on the footway or the carriageway,
you should not pass the stop line.


I can't believe the law is that much of an ass. Do you have a
reference?
