Default Inevitable Cycle Enforcement

I'm just waiting for the cyclists to get a bug up their asses about this
like motorists do with speed cameras. Soon, cycle cops will have to wear
8-ft illuminated helmets, so cyclists can spot them at a distance and not go
through red lights, or quickly jump off the pavement until the cop goes...


Good job this isn't uk.t - otherwise you'd have the speed freaks there
up in arms for equating speed cameras with red light running ...

Y'see, on uk.t at least, when a cyclist goes through a red light they
are evil and must be strung up (or at least taxed, registered, licensed
and otherwise punished for using a cheap, economical mode of transport,
irrespective of the legality of their behaviour), yet when a motorist
trips a speed camera it's because the local plod is raising revenue by
imposing an unfairly low speed limit on a stretch of road.
