Seems daft.

I was taught that you can't get points on your licence or be banned on your motor vehicle licence for misdemenours on a bicycle unless the law has change without my knowledge, even for drink related stuff.

Way too OTT like alot of things now are. Nothing surprises me anymore

Getting back to this thread, the police have now said :-

"The matter is now closed and the force wishes Mr Barton a safe and successful conclusion to the remainder of his charity cycle".

Yes Kodiak, what they should be saying is:-
"We are so embarrassed by the public reaction to this action, and the two pillock constables involved, that we offer our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused".
