Pedro, police target cyclists mon 27th Aug

Usually just Sydney CBD, but police statewide could be told to have zero tolerance for cyclists.
Bells, reflectors, lights at night, helmet, footpath/crossings.

94- Pedestrian offences
37- Cyclists disobey traffic control lights
25- Cyclists ride on footpath
50- Cyclists not wear helmet
98- Other cyclists/traffic offences
Not sure what the other 98 were, was there a single passing distance? Were any for the petty bell?

I'm guessing we can expect a strong Police presence to deter people from riding to work (aka, Operation Pedro)?

It's not just cyclists that the NSW police struggle to accept as full members of society. An MP is taking legal action over two years of inaction on serving officers "offensive and unlawful" Facebook postsJmuzz wrote:Word is operation Pedro mon 27th August

That's like equating me spilling a cup of turps to culpability of the Deepwater Horizon.
