I don’t believe for a minute it is trueIt’s not – not least because it hasn’t been ‘the official song’ since 1996.

My statistical nerves are twitching at that ‘Most cyclists are angels’ section. Just because in 84% of observations the signals were observed, doesn’t mean that you can conclude that 84%, or even the majority, of cyclists don’t ride through red lights. That would only be true if every individual had to either always go through them or always stop. If a different 16% went through each red light, then by the time they reached the third set about half of them would have done it.
