I'm really hoping the police will have a crackdown on people without lights and/or riding on the pavement in our area. There's nothing like someone dressed in black, riding a black bike, at night, next to a black cat, in a coal cellar to surprise you when they decide to ride across the road without looking. I really don't see what the problem with a £60 fine and if they're under 16 confiscating the bike until the parents collect it. It might even uncover a lot of stolen bikes.
