Can give good aural pleasure
Whenever I sit waiting at a red light on Queen Street and see crossing pedestrians fill up the intersection I get this urge to hop off my bike and walk it across the intersection... does anyone know if this is legal? Does anyone actually do this or seen anyone do it?

If you turn off the engine it will most certainly be legal. Dunno if it is ok if you keep the engine running - but just push it along.
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

Argh so I asked an already-asked question!Originally Posted by xerxesdaphat
I did do a search first on "walking" and "intersection" but didn't find anything...
So did anyone actually try this? I think I'll wait until Summer when I'll have my mirror visor to try this... haha
Double shot!!
sounds quite legal, but you are going to get some rather black looks I would say. I'm a cheeky bastard, but I don't know if I would be up for a stunt like that - not as a habit anyway.

No law I know of that says you can not 'walk' a bike with the engine running.
I'd be inclined to turn it off for safety reasons. If it accidently clicks into the cog and hits a pedestrean you could be in the shit.

Hell, I saw a biker pushing his bike through the pedestrain corssing after work..
I assume he ran out of petrol. I pulled over to ask if he needed assistance and he just ran down the pavement with his bike.. i'll be arsed if I was going to run after him.

yes and no. From what I've observed on Queen St in Auckland they ride through (which I believe is illegal?).And just to add a whole new argument err.. I mean point of discussion..

'twas taking the bus a few months ago and came up to the intersection at the top of the hill from western springs (auck), some dude comes from the left on a scooter, and his side had a red light, so he gets off, and starts walking onto the footpath, once ge gets past the intersection he gets back on and you see a laugh and a puff of blue smoke as he powers (it has power?) off around the corner.
Jackass.
I would find it illegal. Just play it safe and wait for three minutes.

I almost did something similar on Saturday, was the last bike in a group sitting at the lights to turn left from Burns Ave to Esmonde Road, in the rain, the light was red for ages and green for just a few seconds, a couple at the back made it across on the amber light but I got left behind, was a little annoyed at being wet and stupidly long lights so I almost rode onto the footpath to bypass the red! But my common sense told me to stay put... damn common sense'twas taking the bus a few months ago and came up to the intersection at the top of the hill from western springs (auck), some dude comes from the left on a scooter, and his side had a red light, so he gets off, and starts walking onto the footpath, once ge gets past the intersection he gets back on and you see a laugh and a puff of blue smoke as he powers (it has power?
