No, Richard White of Ballina (Letters, December 18), the Byron police are not ‘turning a blind eye’ to fat bikers. I popped into Byron police station and spoke to a cop who told me he had booked two fatbikers without helmets and given four warnings that day. He said they are cracking down on the illegal, speeding, helmetless, riders of fat bikes.
One passed me on the Byron bike path between Kendall and Butler Streets scaring the wits out of me. I was travelling at 23kph. He whizzed past, must have been 40kph. If all concerned people popped into their local police station, it might just make it more serious. Voice your complaint!
