that the incident underlined the need for law enforcement officers to protect vulnerable road users, rather than pulling up cyclists for what he insisted were “minor infractions” such as riding on the footway, with police in the city having launched a blitz against such behaviour in recent days.
The motorist then continued to drive through an intersection following the collision, dragging the cyclist for several yards, before coming to a halt and getting out of their vehicle, looking first at the car then the cyclist, the pair exchanging words briefly before the driver got back into the car and pulled into the side of the road.
“Today we were tweeting about ongoing incidents of police ticketing cyclists for minor infractions,” he said, “the underlying point being that it is a hugely ineffective and misguided use of resources,” said Shellnutt, who also claimed on Twitter that there was “anti-cycling bias” held by some officers of the Toronto Police Service .
“This is the road violence that cyclists deal with every single day in cities like Toronto. It’s not an aberration, it’s endemic.
