You think this shows cycling in a good light?

I don't know, does it?
Certainly they are very fit which Mr Pounder will appreciate.
When a motorist goes through a red light it is because the amber phase was too short or it had only been red for a few seconds.
None of the motor vehicle operators moved aside for faster traffic.
Pedestrians don't pay 'Road Tax'
Motorists have a RIGHT to drive 10%+2mph+10%+2mph above the speed limit.
Motorists only have to give way to pedestrians at junctions when it is convenient.

It certainly shows them in an accurate light.

Was that the guy that Alliston idolised and wanted to emulate when he
killed that innocent woman with his bike?

Not in my eyes.

Obviously a private argument going on here

What's it called when you say "it's all right to do/be X as this other
group does/is worse" ?

Simon seems to be going a bit nuts.
Hell, he now chats to Burke, one of the well known trolls on usenet.
Sad really.
He seems to think that this glorifies cyclists and is dead good. What a
dickhead.

A motorist didn't post that video[1] saying it was the zenith.

Without bashing on other groups, is this the behaviour you think
cyclists should exhibit ?

BTW I am a person (not a cyclist or a motorist) who uses a car and a
bicycle but I neither jump red lights nor perform (knowingly) other rule
breaking on either mode of transport.
