How remarkable! Of course what it mainly shows is cyclists stopping at
red lights and going though green. I wonder how many cars were
exceeding the speed limits?

At least the bicycle mounted camera man seems to be fairly well
behaved, but many of the others are not.

I counted 7 cyclists go all the way through on red lights; a further
15 or more when ahead of the stop line in anticipation of the lights
changing.

Did they cause any problems?

Not that I could see, indeed, four (of the seven) went through the
red light at a T-junction where a road was joining from the right, and
so were unlikely to have an effect on other road traffic.

However, that is not the point. Driving with one or more bald tyres,
which I am sure more than seven of the cars in the video were doing,
often causes no problems. It is the rare motor vehicle driver in their
car with three bald tyres who kills four cyclists who does cause a
problem.

Yes. They broke the law.
