One thing I think is great about pedelecs is they make traffic lights much more bearable. Something in another thread prompted me to do a count of how many I pass on the way in, in 17 miles I was expecting about 35 or so. I lost count a couple of times so I may be a few out but this morning I counted 80 separate sets of lights, that's more than one a minute average for the whole journey! Some of my commute is along cycle routes that avoid a lot of lights so I reckon if I came in on normal roads there would be 20 more. They were all separate sets of lights with their own stop lines, I didn't count zebra crossings but I'd guess there are about 12 of them as well.
This might be a London centric thing but as a lot of my riding is through suburbs I'm wondering if anyone has more or a higher rate on their travels?
