Extremely perilous

As I was cycling along East Road just now I stopped at a pelican crossing, the traffic lights being red. A woman with a bike was standing on the pavement, apparently waiting to cross the road. She continued to wait until the traffic lights turned green again and as the traffic started moving she crossed the road.

Was she confused because although she was crossing the road she was also pushing a bike? Or was there a defect with the pelican crossing which I would consider to be extremely perilous?

If it is the latter then Cambridgeshire County Council ought to be ashamed of itself. If the former, then the lady in question frankly deserves to be run over, and very probably soon will be.
