Just another sad example of bullying people who use a C02 neutral, healthy and life extending transport option.

The maximum penalties under the new act include:

- DANGEROUS riding - $13,610 or prison for twelve months or both.

- CARELESS riding of a bike - $681 for a first offence and $1361 for a subsequent offence

- IF a person is killed or seriously injured by a cyclist and the rider has not immediately stopped and offered assistance - $68,052 or five years in prison

- IF property is damaged by a cyclist and the rider has not immediately stopped and offered assistance - $284 or seven days in prison for a first offence and $567 or prison for between seven and 14 days for a subsequent offence.
