Hefty fine follows other incidents in Grimsby which saw riders ordered to pay £500, and in one case £1,150, the council's enforcement officers having previously been accused of targeting the "old and slow" and cyclists "they can get away with"
In June of last year four separate cyclists, ranging in age from 31 to 65, were found guilty of breaching the PSPO, with all four being fined £220 and ordered to pay almost £300 in costs, before a month later Lauren Cullum was ordered to pay £1,150.
In contrast, in the same week at Grimsby Magistrates’ Court, Paul Berry pleaded guilty to driving at 50mph on a 40mph road. He was disqualified from driving for seven days, fined £60, and ordered to pay a victim services surcharge of £16.
