I don't jump red lights. I wait impatiently at them, hopefully in the bike box if this isn't filled by cars and mopeds. It is, of course, an offence, and contravenes the Highway Code, so red light jumping is no way endorsed by Cycling Weekly, but is it really a problem the police should be focusing on?
The City of London Police clearly think so. In a press release on Thursday morning, the Square Mile's force announced that in the ten months since last July, it had given out 944 fixed penalty notices to cyclists for going through red lights.
