Cycling through Hyde park yesterday evening, after dark, riding along a 'NO CYCLING' path. A policeman waved his torch at me, and said, "I could fine you £200 - consider this a friendly warning."
I've seen policemen cycling all over the park, on all types of paths, so I asked him about this. He explained that policemen can cycle on all paths because 'they've had training'. Any policemen on here who can elaborate on this, or explain how, with policies such as this, the Metropolitan Police can ever hope to increase their public support?
