Police catch 400 cyclists
Police fine 400 cyclists for 'dangerous and irresponsible' riding.
Excellent news: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co....gerous-4729068 Police have slapped 400 cyclists with fines in just 10 days as part of a crackdown on 'dangerous and irresponsible' biking. The £30 penalty notices were handed out along Oxford Road and Wilmslow Road for offences such as running red lights, not having lights fitted, cycling on footpaths and using mobile phones whilst cycling. Cyclists were also fined for dangerously weaving in and out of traffic. It was part of Greater Manchester Police’s ‘Operation Grimaldi’ with the Oxford Road corridor identified as a dangerous cycling hotspot on 10 ‘days of action’ between February and June this year. |

They could have done this in 10 hours, not days, at a set of lights I was observing in London this week. Over half about half a dozen changes of the lights of the lights I saw 1 cyclist stop at red and wait for the green. The other 20 plus just weaved through and carried on going. Some had very close calls with death or serious injury, but didn't seem in the least bothered. I'm used to driving in Cambridge, the capital of stupidity on 2 wheels, but these guys scared the heck out of me. -- Bill |

Ask the Manchester police but someone is asking YOU - what (do you think), is wrong with that? I think it is wrong because you cannot be fully in control of your push-bike and there is a danger that you will be involved in an accident to the detriment of another road user. OK? |

One of these cyclists caused a death: - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ency-stop.html or for those rightly sceptical of DM reports http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10189702 and they constantly carve up buses |

They're usually too busy with the arrogant motorists who think they're the only person on the planet. |
