Cyclists allowed to run red lights?

The recent posts from "Marz", who to me at least is a new one, have
suggested that he would do more damage to a ped who deliberately shoulder
charged him than he would suffer himself. Is this what you refer to as
"terrorising pedestrians"?
No, I refer to his admission that he barrels through pedestrians on
crossings, even ignoring red lights to do so. And that he thinks it
quite appropriate to force his way between the pedestrians who have a
right to use the crossing when he does not.
But it's nice to see the cyclists either (a) closing ranks or (b)
refusing to see things from the point of the view of the vulnerable road
user.
Closing ranks in the way that I wrote "The general attitude and content of
Marz's posts
about red light jumping at non-busy crossings have already suggested that he
may be a bit of an arse, and probably thought of one by many URC regulars. "
and then you snipped it from your reply you mean? I think that says far
more about how you want cyclists to behave rather than how they/we do.
