Starting March 27, low-level offenses like riding against traffic or disobeying a stop sign will be handled with civil summonses similar to how drivers are ticketed, instead of criminal charges that require a court appearance.

The move rolls back a crackdown under the previous administration that led to a sharp increase in criminal summonses for cyclists.

Absolutely insane idea to punish cyclists harder than carbrains for the same thing. Good thing it was reversed.

All of those cyclists bodies may dent people's cars, which would result in unhappy voters.
