Mr Arnold, who cycles to Cambridge station daily, was caught in an operation
by special officers who said residents were angry at cyclists avoiding
traffic lights by riding on pavements.

The 35-year-old, who was convicted of riding a pedal cycle on a footpath
after a one-hour trial at Cambridge Magistrates' Court, was one of 40
cyclists caught at the junction of Arbury Road and Milton Road on September
6 - but chose to fight his case as he said the path followed on from a
shared use pavement and there was nothing to show it was illegal to cycle
there.

A Cambridgeshire County Council spokesman said: "Shared use footpaths are
clearly marked and our advice to cyclists would be that unless the footpath
is clearly signed as such they should not use it as a cycleway."

Looking on google earth the pavements are awash with cyclists, it must be
awful for pedestrians.

I see that the cyclist was "given a criminal record" and that the:

cool, 12"? 78 or 45? mono/stereo? 1.8mil , 1 mil or 0.7mil?


"... Arbury Court resident was fined 30 plus a 15 victim surcharge.
Fixed penalty notices on the day involve a 30 fine".

and he had good reason to reject such an on-the-street judgement.


Bearing in mind that he must have been *observed* committing this mean,
nasty, selfish, offence,

did the fence "need" painting?

he should have had an additional exemplary fine
(say, 1,000) for wasting the time, and insulting the intelligence of,
the court and all involved.

Bull****, these "court hearings" are part of the indoctrination and
the funding for such is long established for the oppression of the
common man. Accepting payment from the the oppressed in order to
oppress is so obviously corrupt that one can't help but think that for
those involved, their sentence to endure hell and damnation for all
eternity cannot come soon enough.
