"Sergeant Brian Gordon, from the Dalston Transport Hub Team, has warned of a “zero tolerance” approach this week to cycling offences as the dark nights descend.
He stressed the importance of cycling with the right equipment as the Gazette reiterates its Hackney Cycle Safe campaign.
The change in the clocks means many commuters are forced to travel both to and from work in the dark.
“Most cyclists do not realise quite how invisible they are, especially with the darkness coming around,” said Sgt Gordon. He reminded cyclists that using lights in the hours of darkness was a legal requirement – those who do not face a £30 on the spot fine."
