"Cycling police are certainly back in force in the City area, nabbing
many a newbie/oldie for straying onto pavements, through red lights
etc. A friend of mine who has just started cycling to work was hauled
up last week for taking a shortcut across a pavement and given a
thirty quid fine on the spot.


Can't say I've noticed it going on myself, but it seems like a useful
initiative.

On several occasions while on the top deck of a bus I've enjoyed the sight
of police cyclists waiting for cyclists to run the red lights at Bank
junction, and then stopping them. Only cops on bikes would have a hope of
catching them.
