The cyclist was wearing all black when he was stopped with no lights on and listening to music. Oblivious to the marked car trying to get his attention. Issued with a TOR for no lights on his bike. £50 fine for the offence. Be safe Be seen.

Good the amount of cyclists with no lights is a disgrace.

Oh and when will action be taken against cyclists on pavements?

Not a moment too soon, I drove along Botanic Road last night, cyclist rode towards me, (wrong way up the one way street), no lights, dark clothing, AND, no hands on the handlebars.

That is quite common in the wide area around Holy Trinity too. They pay no attention to the traffic lights either. The bikes never seem to have fitted reflectors.

Who said the invisible man was just a made up story!

Amazingly they never seem to fall off - there’s no justice in this world!

About time the police started giving out fines, since when did it become legal to ride on the pavement my daughter was walking along and a bike ran into her on the pavement causing a visit to hospital and a broken arm, the cyclist didn’t stop!
Again in a hoodie dark clothing, every night as a motorist I pass cyclists with no lights, or riding on the pavement all ages not just our hoodie elements, on lord street on a Sunday afternoon we have had to jump out of the way of cyclists on the pavement.
Hopefully the police shall start policing this more.
Could we as motorists drive with no lights or park on a pavement?
Who would be to blame if at night a cyclist with no lights was hit by a motor vehicle, I’m sure the motorist would be accused of dangerous driving!

Well that complete moron Pnp thinks all collisions between cyclists and motor vehicles is automatically the driver at fault regardless of who the REAL culprit is. I haven't the time to go back through the thousands of idiotic rubbish posts of his because everything he posts bears no resemblance to either reality or common sense.
