Echoed, plus increased awareness that traffic laws apply to bicycles, too.
I've seen the following, in Reading (though thankfully at a quiet junction, so no actual harm done):
The scene. A mother and child (of about 6/7), are both riding independently. When the two purposely jump a red light at a junction: Child: 'Hey mum, don't we have to stop at red lights' Mother: 'No dear, that only applies to cars, not to us'
