Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Cyclists on pavements

I've just almost had an eye taken out by an old lady cycling on the busy pavement at Crouch End Broadway with an umbrella up - there are so may cyclists dangerously  weaving in and out of startled pedestrians everywhere totally unchecked that it's become ridiculous, but what to do about it?

It's illegal. £500 fine.

If so, then such law is not being enforced it would seem.

Current advice is that police should use their discretion. See https://lcc.org.uk/articles/minister-for-cycling-clarifies-pavement...

I'm sure the police prefer to attend to more exciting crimes. Perhaps if they were allowed to keep the £50 fine ?

£50 is the on the spot amount. The maximum is £500.

Ive seen the spot fine only ever in the City on Bishopsgate.

I only saw fines being issued on Bishopsgate for running a red light. Does it ever happen for riding on the pavement?
