"Use of these facilities is not compulsory and will depend on your experience and skills, but they can make your journey safer" ^ I was stopped by a community officer this morning whilst slowing down for traffic lights, whilst on the road. Admittedly there was a cycle lane adjacent to me but this was on a dual carriageway meaning if i were to use this I would have to cylce an extra 0.7 miles, turn around and come back on a pedestrian path or in heavy traffic to get to work. I used this phrase to a tee, got a snigger from her and she pulled out her paperwork to issue me a fine. This was the moment I mounted my steed, clipped in and cycled off with a smile on my face knowing she had no vehicle, and no presidence. Do you really think that this was her next step? If so I'd like to know what would have happened when she got back to the station.

And riding on the road isn't illegal. Phone from a phone box to anonymously report her.

What, let some poor bugger actually get fined by the cretin and then cough up because they aren't smart enough to look it up.
I don't think it is necessary, I also don't think it should need to be considered.
There is enough crime around for the police and there cronies to deal with without inventing new crimes.

So someone reports someone else going in their pocket whilst cycling off and you turn into batman, positioned somewhere between the people and the law enforcers but obviously a hero operating on his own terms in search of justice lol!

The man knows how to fall doesn't he? He must be a stunt man, the 'over the handle bars into the back of the lorry' was superbly done.

If so I'd like to know what would have happened when she got back to the station. She had pulled out her pink slips so it would have been a caution at the least..for cylcing on the road, fully lit. I would have stood and entertained it but I was late for work, I'm a special in the police so will be following it up the weekend as to how ridiculous her practice is.
