City police target ‘Lycra lout’ cyclists who jump red lights at Bank Junction.

More than 70 ‘Lycra lout’ cyclists face fines for jumping red lights during a police crackdown at one of the Square Mile’s busiest road junctions.

City of London officers also issued bike riders with fixed penalty notices for near misses with pedestrians and vehicles during rush hour.

Seventy-seven rogue cyclists will now either have to pay a £50 fine or enrol on a safety course.

During the five-day operation against anti-social behaviour at Bank Junction, a further 94 traffic offence warnings were given to other road users and nine illegal e-bikes or e-scooters seized for destruction.

What an excellent use of police time... Can we look forward to this being rolled out in the rest of the country soon🤔

Maybe the fines could be used to pay for long overdue pot hole repairs🕳️😁

I love the line "issued bike riders with fixed penalty notices for near misses with pedestrians and vehicles during rush hour."

Only buses and bikes are allowed between 7am to 7pm, other transport is banned due to cyclists getting hurt. After a year the number of cyclists hurt only went down by about 10% I think it was, so we can guess who's at fault

Sounds to be a fair assumption 🤣🤣🤣
