Sorry? Did I miss something? In what way were they causing problems?
Breaking the law, yes, but causing problems?

receive from the public"

Complaints have been received, therefore there must have been problems.

LOL, no Mr.Dragon, that is not the case, although beautifully naïve.

An interesting quote from the article is:

"Last month during Avon and Somerset police's Relentless day of
action in Bath, officers stopped 17 cyclists in just one morning who
were riding on the pavements or flouting one-way restrictions."

Now it says officers, so let's say there were two and a morning is
three hours.

That means each office stopped say 9 cyclists each,to make the maths
easier. Three an hour, or one every 20 minutes.

A hotbed of crime? A useful use of expensively trained public
servants? I don't think so.

Are you saying that complaints do not indicate a problem?

Perhaps they should stop looking for other crimes then, if it's a
numbers thing.

People will complain about anything.

I'm not condoning the breaking of the law, but what specific problems were
the cyclist causing? The details appear to be lacking somewhat.

I suppose there is definitely no point in the police looking for murderers,
after all there are not many of them.
