Not even the police.


Might be about to change - and quite rightly.

Wake up! That was another year, another Government. In any case as it says:

"In its response to the committee, the department said enforcing cycling
offences "was typically not high on the agenda of most police forces due
to competing demands on their time".

It also pointed out anti-social cyclists represent only a small number
of total cyclists."


"The government should do more to target "irresponsible behaviour" by
cyclists - particularly when they break traffic laws, a committee of MPs has
said".


"But he said it was wrong to assume that all cyclists were dangerous.

"There are, without doubt, some elements of the cycling community who
are in that position and there are equally, I imagine, rather more
people who are far more dangerous drivers as well," he said."
