Re “Biker’s takedown good policing – or cops going too far?” (Joe Warmington, June 3): I have been a cyclist or over 70 years, starting in Britain. In Britain in those days, you were taught that a bicycle was a vehicle, and as a vehicle it was due all the rights of the road but must also follow the rules of the road. I didn’t hear “bikes don’t belong on the road” or “get on the sidewalk where you belong” until I came to Canada. The central problem is that the police do not enforce the rules of the road on cyclists and so cyclists appear to operate outside the law, yet interfere with traffic. The takedown of a cyclist who broke the law and refused to stop is a sign that the police are finally doing their job, and making the roads safer for all. A bit heavy handed, perhaps, but what are their alternatives? I think a job well done! Train cyclists before they learn to ride, train drivers as part of their licensing, enforce the rules of the road on all traffic.
