This footage shows the moment a cyclist jumps six red lights in a row while making his way through the streets of London.

Filmed on Tuesday at around 5.30pm by fellow cyclist who wished to be known only as Daniel, the video shows the biker in front of him skipping six red lights in a row, at one point narrowly avoiding a collision with another bicycle.

As Daniel waits at a red light, close to Cafe Laville on Maida Vale, the other cyclist sails past him, and undertakes a car to run a second red light just seconds later, almost colliding with a bike in front.

The cyclist continues up Maida Vale, towards Kilburn High Road and is seen setting off at a busy cross roads before the red light has turned green, before cycling through a third stop signal.

At the busy junction of Kilburn High Road and Cambridge Avenue he skips yet another red light, before jumping two more in quick succession.

The cyclist who films him manages to keep pace with him while not running red lights, highlighting the fact that the rider didn't make up much time by flouting the rules.

Daniel posted the clip on YouTube and had a message for the man in front.

He posted: "Dear fellow cyclist, is it really that difficult to wait at a red light?

"You managed to jump six red lights, but yet I still managed to keep up with you while I waited at those red lights.

"In future, maybe just wait and not risk your life?"

Daniel told the Evening Standard: "I am very new to cycling in London, I recently moved from Manchester where my cycling experience was totally different. The awareness and cycling infrastructure in London is some of the best in the UK.

"There is no place for any form of dangerous antics on the road, whether that be while cycling or behind the wheel. Everyone should take responsibility for their actions, respect the law and be aware of how there actions could impact others.

"It is important that cyclists - and drivers - be aware that there are rules, and more often than not they are in place to protect them, and other road users from harm.

"I rarely see incidents of dangerous cycling, more often dangerous driving is the issue. However, the few incidents of dangerous cycling which I have observed the main reasons are impatience, lack of respect and a lack of awareness to other road users.

"In this instance it may look pretty safe to run a red light, but its illegal and someone could get hurt. Like with any group of road users, you will have those who disregard the rules. The vast majority of cyclists abide by the rules of the road and should not be tarnished by the actions of the few."
