I hope Trafford council don't hear about this and decide to fine cyclists who don't use cycle lanes.

They have a very poor record on enforcing cycle lanes bounded by a solid white line which their employees painted, and cars are allowed to park on them.

It'd be a real money spinner for them if they could fine cyclists for not cycling in cycle lanes blocked by parked cars, and such a policy would probably prove popular with the local car mad electorate too. The inability to park anywhere and everywhere whenever you want for no cost is a hot topic locally.

Not long ago there were reports of a New York cop who came up with a neat wheeze of blocking a cycle lane with his car, then booking cyclists who cycled around it.

ace vid,

wonder if he got is $50 bacK?
