"PC Jamie Robinson, community beat manager for the Talbot area, said
signs had been put up along Whitegate Drive asking cyclists not to use
the pavement a couple of months ago, but residents had complained it was
still going on to police during PACT meetings.
She said: �There were concerns that people were riding in an anti-social
manner, which is quite dangerous. In fact, people were having to move
out of the way and were worried about children and older people being
run over while on the footpath.�
PC Robinson said the people fined for the bad practice ranged in their
ages, from people in their 20s to those in their 50s.
�The majority of them said they had never noticed the signs,� she added".
Cyclists lack of observation skills again. If you don't notice a
traffic sign, no wonder you don't notice car doors.

Minor traffic offences to be heard by new courts in England and Wales
Dedicated traffic courts are to be set up in England and Wales to
prosecute minor motoring offences following a pilot scheme in nine
areas.
The move is part of a drive to cut delays in the criminal justice
system and free up magistrates courts to deal with more serious cases.
Each year, 500,000 minor motoring offences go through the courts.

Just because "clamping" and "tossing" are of interest to you, does not mean
that they are of interest to normal people.
(I hear a jubilee clip is used in some circles: you will need the half inch
diameter one)
