Boris Bikes - CCTV - prosecution.

[Muddy Ground]

I've just started with the Boris Bikes - bit slow like that I am. Anyway, they all have a fleet number and that made me thing; these things can be picked up by traffic cameras surely?

So, has anybody out there been contacted by TFL regarding traffic related incidents when using one of their bikes?

So, via Freedom of Information request, I asked Transport for London: How many Boris Bike users have been reported as transgressors of any sort?

“TfL has received two reports that a third party has contacted the Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme contact centre about the behaviour of scheme members.”

​

Just two, hey? And the bike numbers were used to nab these numpties?


“The bicycle serial numbers were not reported,” said TfL.

So, next time bicycle registration is raised as an issue – something that will cure all ills – point out that plastering big numbers on bikes does bugger all. (Which makes perfect sense because since when have car registration plates stopped motorists doing stupid things?)
