It's a pity that he didn't have a registration plate, then he could be
reported.

Yes, let's imagine the cyclist had a numberplate. He goes through a
red light just missing this Scottish lady. She notes his number from
his plate and goes to the police-station. Can you imagine how
seriously they might take this report of a near-miss?

Exactly.

Crikey, if I reported every time I was "nearly" hit by a car, I'd be down
the nick every day.

"I was nearly knocked over by a cyclist who chose to ignore both the red
light and the green pedestrian crossing light".

Three traffic offences? Yes I think they would be obliged to take action.

"It was even more interesting because another two cyclists did exactly
the same thing on the other side of the same busy junction".

Shame they couldn't be traced either.

Choose a viable form of transport then. Problem solved.

I'd like to see him try and then get done for wasting police time over
accidents that didn't happen.

Dangerous cycling, jumping a red light, ignoring a pedestrian crossing?
They would certainly take action against a motorist who committed such
blatent traffic offences.

Three serious traffic offences? I can see why you are absolutely
terrified of being identified.
