The horrible thing is councils associate these two together, because there's a few chavs that ride bikes (generally a BMX or Halfords of some sort) and tend to cause trouble when out on them, whenever councils see someone on a bike that's not a middle aged man/women they assume we're up to no good..
I've once been in the situation where I'v had a group of people watching me, a community support officer then tells me I'm damaging kirklees property..
The group of people were smokers, they were ruining the bin, and littering when throwing the buts on the floor... They got a friendly smile...
It makes me sick..
