Its a bit keen, isn't it.
Although the bus driver seems to have committed a criminal offence by making off.
I don't believe it.
He was going too fast for the conditions on a silly bike with no gears or freewheel and only one brake.
Amazingly, given I do my own maintenance, but in 27 years I've never had a brake cable fail.
As a pedestrian I've been the victim of a number of incidents where cyclists thought that red lights did not apply to them. The same penalties apply to all licensed road users - cyclists as well as car drivers.
You wouldn't cross a level crossing when the barriers are down, would you? So why jump a red light?

I jump reds and so does Sue Perkins.
According to the bus driver, the cyclists brakes failed.

Much better to lock up and go sideways in to the bus at least it's only a bruised shoulder, much cheaper than a new front wheel!so does a well known British Cycling policy advisor.
watched this more than a few times now and his story definitely holds though he's inexperienced with his chosen style of bike, should have locked the back wheel and changed course.

If you go sideways you are more likely to slide under it. New wheels are easier to obtain than new heads/hips etc.
cyclist jumps red lights smacks into side of bus
yes. but you expect it of cabbies, you don't expect it of cyclistsjust been pointed out to me the cab is also jumping the light
