Funny - thought all me and the lads did was hunt down hapless drivers

and fine 'em

Oh so that's where they redirected the cops then - to nabbing pavement cyclists then

Apart from that - bruv tells me GMP atre getting CCTV converted to ANPR to track cars througout Manchester and there's talk of everyone have to have an ID card type driving licence instead of the quaint paper one! Sure cyclists are "perscuted and singled out"

All we want is a pre-event warning and a route so that we can police prpperly and keep traffic flowing both for drivers and cyclists. Hardly heavy handed

The HSE simply pointed out that parents give a child a bike and like they do not always teach Green Cross - fail to ensure they understand road safety before letting them loos unsupervised. The HSE simply advised parents to think hard about training courses and proficiiency tests. Plain ordinary common sense.
