1953 Bicycle gets Parking Ticket!

Bicycle fined £60 for being parked in wrong bay



Imagine my surprise when I went to sell this bike only to find in among the paperwork a fine for £60 by the council for the bike being parked in the wrong bay. The machine is a 1953 raleigh bicycle fitted with a powerpak engine so I guess is technically a motorised vehicle

The penalty notice was issued in 2008 and not paid. I have now also found a further letter from the Council that no payment is due and that the case is closed as they accepted the owners explanation. I would have really liked to have seen the letter the owner at the time wrote to the council.

Who knows maybe the Traffic Warden was either exceptionally vigilant, just having a bad day, or issued the ticket as a prank?

If you like this story pass it on so others can be careful where you park your bicycle, auto cycle, or moped!

This bike is now for sale. Please click here to follow the link
