			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a very high percentage of fellow Oxford cyclists who seem to be going out of their way to make me mad:</p>
<blockquote><p>Three 30-minute Oxford Mail surveys in the city showed cyclists routinely ignoring red signals at junctions.</p>
<p>At the Botley Road junction with Frideswide Square, 15 out of 67 cyclists approaching red lights ignored them. At the crossroads near the Sheldonian Theatre in Broad Street, 48 out of 112 cyclists jumped red lights.</p>
<p>The High Street junction with Longwall Street saw 39 out of 88 cyclists ignore stop signals.</p></blockquote>
