I would refer to the picture The Press published on May 27 of a cyclist festooned with carrier bags.

Item 66 of the Highway Code states that “you should not carry anything which will affect your balance or may get tangled up with your wheels or chain”.

This, to my mind, constitutes “dangerous cycling”, which carries a penalty of £2,500.
