Jon Snow should set an example on his bike by not running red lights



http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jul/26/jon-snow-bike-red-light

Running red lights, riding on the pavement, using a mobile phone on the move, ignoring pedestrians' right of way at a zebra crossing… all things that thousands of cyclists do every day on our city streets. But barring being on the receiving end of a very occasional admonition or fine from an especially vigilant police officer, most cyclists get away with such infractions 99% of the time.
Which is partly why they carry on doing it – because they have impunity. Unless they're a celebrity cyclist. David Cameron, Boris Johnson and, now, Channel 4 News presenter Jon Snow have all been gotcha'ed – the latter the subject of a Daily Mail exposé today.

No one should pay any attention to the daily fail - not even the guardian.

Jon Snow is aweome btw.

It's like he's been possessed by Keith Floyd.

He's Chairman of CTC - but he probably doesn't stop, because if he did his bike would get nicked again!

It's all very well, but what I really expect from the Daily Mail is what this means for house prices, gypsies and whether it causes or cures cancer.

There's a pretty forceful retort from Jon Snow on road.cc. This looks like something that has its roots in their retracted allegation of an affair on his part and his battering of Zac Goldsmith over election spending.

Just seen his retort, put them in their place fairly lively, G'damned paparrazi, hope they apologise
