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.
