Cyclists to face penalties for 10 new offences but concerns as dangerous cycling potentially downgraded
Briefly

The new UK cycling laws set to be implemented include tougher penalties for antisocial cycling, with ten new offences proposed, particularly targeting cycling behavior in London's Royal Parks. However, there are concerns over the downgrading of two existing serious offences, dangerous cycling and failing to stop at a school crossing patrol, which can now be remedied with a 30-minute paid e-learning course. While the laws aim to enhance public safety, critics argue that the focus is disproportionately on cyclists, potentially diminishing the severity of dangerous riding behaviors.
