Of course this was too good an offer to pass by so I went down after canvassing everyone on Twitter for questions to ask. [...]

Poll: Should cyclists be given harsher fines?

by Andreas on 26. Jan, 2010 in Cycling in London

In this second of our London Cyclist week of polls I’m heading to a very hot topic of the moment. There was recently news about Westminster council raising the fines for cyclists to £100.
