There are a LOT of cops over here riding bicycles, and pretty much the only think they're on the lookout for is to catch cyclists with earphones. A lot of people get tickets this way.

In what appears to be an effort to make cyclists respect the rules of the road, cyclists have for the last few years started losing points on their drivers license, a fact that has taken many unlucky cyclists by surprise.

Fucking brutal.

the least they can do is pay full fucking attention

Montreal cyclist hit with $651 ticket for warning bikers to stop at lights

MONTREAL Have you ever flashed your lights to warn other drivers about a speed trap ahead?

Like many of us, Montrealer Christopher Lloyd had the best interests of fellow road users at heart as he stood at the corner of Duluth and St. Urbain on Wednesday morning, advising cyclists to stop at the lights.

But the police officers running a red light trap on the other side of the intersection didnt see it in the same way, and issued Lloyd with a massive fine.

Nasty, nasty, nasty.

That is awesome. Here in Boston cyclists are massive assholes with no accountability. The whole share the road thing is maddening when we have to yield to them cause they wont move the fuck over.

scummy. its like warning the axe murderer not to go in that shop cos cops are camped out waiting to punch.

love how they call it a speed "trap" when the only fools falling for it are the ones breaking the rules to begin with.
