This morning I went through a red light on my bike.

I don't usually do that. Even though at the junction in question the traffic flow often means it would be safe to do so.

What was worse was that I pulled up to the line and stopped. On a green light. When it changed to red, I went. I was over the junction and off at the other side before I realised that that's not how these things are supposed to work.

I did subsequently successfully negotiate several more sets of traffic lights in a rather more conventional way. But still. Aaargh.

I have no idea what my brain was thinking.

That is true, most people don't stop at green lights unless they are a good driver and don't think they can make it across the junction by the time the lights change. And that is pretty rare for someone to do that.

If a pavement is also a cyclepath then fair enough, just lots aren't in London.

Reading is quite a nice place at times, but walking around showed that there are a couple of nasty hills there. Mount Pleasant? springs to mind on the way to the uni.
