Vancouver - Giving rule-breaking cyclists a free ride unfair to drivers

June is Bike Month and police are handing out the information tickets to cyclists for these common offences, which carry fines between $29 and $167. The official word from the police department: "Warnings will be given out in June with the aim of improving compliance and enforcement will begin in July."

Am I the only motorist offended by this abandonment of enforcement? -Hello, these are not new rules. Nevertheless, the police continue each year around this time to mollycoddle cyclists, who know better yet continue to show a blatant disregard for the rules of the road and fellow road users.
