Lights on Bikes or Lack of
Lights
WE have recently asked on Twitter a
quick survey about cyclists who are currently riding around the area without
lights on their bikes. The question was:- "Do you think Merseyside Police
should stop and fine cyclists who have no lights on bikes, as well as search
them?" This is down to the fact local people and businesses are
reporting a massive rise in incidents involving people cycling at night, without
lights. We are told that often Police are failing to react to cyclists, of all
ages, who even ride past them, at night without lights. Often the worry is that
these people, who are often riding very late at night, dressed in dark clothing,
often with hoods up, are up to no good. Our pole did result in one Twitter user
asking:- "Why should I be stopped and searched while cycling?" The
result of our quick pole was that 63% said:- "Yes, they are dangerous."
32% said:- "No, as it's not a priority" 5% said:-
"Don't care, not interested." We are still interested to know your
views. Please email us to:-
