[bikeqld] Cycling across crossings enforcement

[Yani]

Unfortunately it's not just the enforcement of litigious prescriptions for
behaviour of cyclists, it a more general trend towards creating sheep from
the general population where it is assumed that everyone is brain dead and
needs to be protected from themselves. 

You really need to have a lack of 'subject material' to start worrying about
cyclists. But that is the world we live in, one where people lack a subject
so they enjoy the critique of others.

You can be sure the police that are standing around intersections fussing
about what cyclists do are rookies. It would be a public contact job used to
test them and nothing more. Best thing anyone can do is pull a bible out of
the backpack and start behaving like a Jehovah Witness. "Have you heard the
word of God today." They will want to be rid of you so fast that writing a
ticket is just forgotten. The worst thing you can do is say "I'm in a
hurry."
