Bicyles
=======
It is against the law to ride on footpaths or pavements by the roadside. Magistrates can fine £1000.
A £200 fine is set for furious cycling.
The Licensing Act 1872 makes it an offence to be drunk in charge of a bicycle (or any other vehicle
or carriage) on a highway or in a public place.
Magistrates can hand down a 1 month prison sentence and a £200 fine.
The Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle Regulations 1983 require that the specifications of the bike
are fixed on a secure plate; there should be brakes to comply with section 6 of British Standards
(1981) fitted to the front wheel.
The bike should only be under power by means of a switch biased to the off position. The height of
the saddle should be more than 635mm above ground level.
Magistrates can set a fine of £1000 if they are contravened.
Electric bikes cannot be ridden by children under the age of 14 (£500 fine at Magistrates).
Magistrates can fine £200 if a bicycle rider is carrying a passenger without the bike being properly
adapted to do so (ie: a tandem).
It is an offence for more than one person to ride a bike if it is not under power or adapted. See
the cycling sub section for more on this.
Magistrates can set a maximum fine of £2500 for dangerously riding a bicycle.
Magistrates can set a maximum fine of £1000 for riding a bicycle without due care and attention, or
without reasonable consideration for other people using the road.
It is an offence to ride a bicycle whilst unfit through drink or drugs.
Magistrates can set a maximum fine of £1000.

I wonder if you wouldn't mind piecing out our imperfections with your thoughts; and while you're
about it perhaps you could think when we talk of bicycles, that you see them printing their proud
wheels i' the receiving earth; thanks awfully.
