Are there any appropiate regulations for cycle tyre depth?
I was delighted to see a cyclist being issues with an FPN on the
pavement outside work last week -- the problem is more prolific as
they've made the road a one-way while resurfacing. Cars, motorbikes
and buses all manage to follow one of the diversions (including
through a park for cyclists), some cyclists decide they'd rather
dismount and push the bike along the pavement. Unfortunately many
cyclists take the usual holier than thou attitude. They got their
comuppence in this case though, wonderful.
