road.cc live blog: Near Miss of the Day video leads to conviction, plain-clothed West Midlands police cyclist catches close-pass drink driver, 2019 Yorkshire World Champs logo revealed and more

Cycling in Paris this evening, many bikes and escooters don't take any notice of the red lights. A number of bikes do stop, but not many.

@ChrisA and you should approach believing they might step out, so be ready to stop.

@Terry Hutt Ah you've spoiled it now, I was enjoying picturing...

@mdavidford I live in the mountains of Southern California. I attached my home commute for your entertainment.

No, I didn't think you were suggesting that. And I feel the same on a bike sometimes. Particularly when the sun is low and I hear cars braking late behind me.

Having watched a couple of episodes of Police, Camera, Action. I'm eagerly awaiting the Police call to close the M62.

@Mr Blackbird I'm not suggesting they shouldn't be there at all, merely that as a single cyclist at the edge of the road travelling between 20-30kph I still feel vulnerable. I would not feel comfortable on a horse at all.

@mjvande@pacbell.net You... 'saw'? : )

This is our local petrol station's prices today. If anything they're going to get a lot worse. Diesel is forecast to hit the £2 mark very soon. I'd be very surprised if we don't see refinery blockades like those in 2000. Let's see how anti-cycling they feel if that happens.
