The second approach results in cyclists feeling targeted and harassed (some tickets are $100+) while increasing hostility towards the police.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the annual campaign has fallen squarely into category #2.\u00a0 There is reason to believe that this year&#8217;s event will be better, but we&#8217;ll believe it when we see it.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday morning I rose early to attend a 7am press conference <a href=\"http:\/\/www.torontopolice.on.ca\/newsreleases\/pdfs\/16655.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">(pdf release)<\/a> about the Bike Blitz.\u00a0 I was a little worried.\u00a0 After all, it was the first press event that I was attending as a blogger.\u00a0 Would I be taken seriously? Would the TV networks shove me aside?\u00a0 Would the daily reporters interrupt my questions?\u00a0 I emotionally prepared myself for the worst as I biked along College to the event. (On the way, I had to swerve around a police car parked in the bikelane\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6). The two scheduled speakers were Police Officer Hugh Smith and Yvonne Bambrick (from the <a href=\"http:\/\/bikeunion.to\/\" target=\"_blank\">bike union)<\/a>.\u00a0 I arrived at College and Bellevue five minutes late and was thrilled to see that the media turnout was low.\u00a0 Less competition means more interview time for me. In fact, there was only one media person there. Me.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The three of us spent the next thirty minutes chatting back and fourth about the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Safe Cycling\u00e2\u20ac\u009d campaign. I talked about how the blitz is perceived by many cyclists and I gave examples of things that I thought they could do better:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&bull; Don&#8217;t set-up \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsting&#8217; operations in locations where cyclists are breaking rules in a harmless way, just to hand out more tickets.\u00a0 For example, a favorite spot is College and Augusta, ticketing cyclists who are turning south.\u00a0 Technically, it&#8217;s a one way street (northbound), but everyone knows that cyclists go both ways in the Market, and it works just fine. Handing out tickets there does not increase safety; it increases anger.\u00a0 (Especially when the police are giving tickets to customers of Bikes on Wheels who are taking a bike for a test ride on Augusta &#8212; this happened last year).\u00a0 Riding two ways on a one way street is considered safe practice in many cities and in some places it&#8217;s actually <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timesonline.co.uk\/tol\/driving\/news\/article4061323.ece\" target=\"_blank\">written into the law<\/a>.<br \/>\n&bull; Let cyclists use a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibiketo.ca\/blog\/2009\/04\/16\/rolling-stop-law-great-video-idaho\" target=\"_blank\">rolling stop<\/a>&#8216; at stop signs.\u00a0 This means that they slow down, look both ways, and proceed.\u00a0 Again, this is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyclelicio.us\/2009\/04\/idaho-stop-law-for-cyclists.html\" target=\"_blank\">common legal practice<\/a> in some jurisdictions and for good reason: it works and it&#8217;s safe.\u00a0 Toronto&#8217;s Bike Blitz often sets up on Beverly, north of Dundas, where officers give tickets to any cyclist who does not come to a complete stop (by putting their foot on the ground).\u00a0 No discretion.\u00a0 No warning.\u00a0 $110 fine.\u00a0 Please, please tell me how this increases awareness or safety?\u00a0 It&#8217;s annoying, immature, petty and fits my description of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcharassment&#8217; to a tee.<br \/>\n&bull; Don&#8217;t just go after cyclists.\u00a0 You want to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153reduce the potential for cycling related injuries?&#8221;\u00a0 Then put tickets on all those cars that are <a href=\"http:\/\/toronto.mybikelane.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">parked in the bike lane<\/a>!\u00a0 They are the people who are putting lives at risk, not the cyclists who slow down at stop signs, or bike slowly south on Augusta.<\/p>\n<p>Officer Smith was quite friendly and supportive.\u00a0 He was a Cycling Officer for ten years (52 Division) as well as a bike instructor. He&#8217;s an expert on the Highway Traffic Act, safety education and policy reform.\u00a0 He assured me that the police want to take a new approach to the Blitz and only go after the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbad apples&#8217; &#8212; on bikes as well as in cars. He said that his goal is to get \u00e2\u20ac\u0153all users to share the road responsibly\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153raise awareness about bike use.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00a0 I asked him what he thought about biking in the city and without hesitation, he said \u00e2\u20ac\u0153it&#8217;s the way to go.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the seven day campaign will focus on dangerous drivers and cyclists who are truly riding recklessly.\u00a0 Bad cyclists give the rest of us a bad name, and I&#8217;d be happy if the police confiscated their bikes and threw them in jail for a day or two.\u00a0 But leave the rest of us alone. Targeting cyclists for minor infractions with expensive tickets will only increase resentment towards the police and make cyclists feel that they are, once again, being treated as second class citizens by a city that says it wants to be green but discriminates against the very people who are actually trying to live sustainably.<\/p>\n<p>The blitz campaign runs from Monday June 22nd to Sunday June 28th.\u00a0 Share your stories here.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll post updates during the week.<\/p>\n<p>Resource: <a href=\"http:\/\/respect.to\/wiki\/pmwiki.php?n=LegalInfo.HowToFightTrafficTickets\" target=\"_blank\">\u00e2\u20ac\u0153How To Fight Traffic Tickets\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (by ARC)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>This post was originally published on <a href=\"http:\/\/meslin.wordpress.com\/2009\/06\/23\/bike-blitz\/\">Mez Dispenser<\/a>.
