I heard that Ken had put up the fine from £30 to £60 on the spot fine for:
cycling through red light,
cycling without lights.
cycling on the pavement.
cycling without brakes.
There is no legistlation that states you must have a helmate,
and according to the highway code your lights should be clear at the front and red at the back, they should be constant (not flashing).
oh and additionally: according to the highway code: if you are in a situation where you feel that a car could /is going to overtake you dangerously then you should position yourslelf in the middle of the road.
