Jumping red

18-12-2009

The bike show (on Resonance FM) had a really interesting discussion about jumping red lights a few nights ago- I’m not particularly interested in the arguments for and against jumping red but love the analysis of why cyclists want to. Especially the idea that cycling feels almost miraculous; how the bicycle balances itself over 5mph and the psychology of not wanting to give up that feeling and momentum (also comparing this to walking).

I have been writing some bits about cycling & the urban cyclist recently (nothing new i suspect) but will post some notes soon- I would really like a project in this area but am struggling to see any tangible outcomes at the moment apart from just building a bike!
