Bicyclists who ignore the rules of the road should be prepared to face expensive tickets just like law-breaking motorists.

Three Rivers Park District Police began cracking down on bicyclists Wednesday, issuing tickets along the Dakota Rail Regional Trail.

The trail, which stretches from Wayzata to St. Bonifacius, opened in the spring. Nearly 7,000 riders use it every week.

There are stop signs at dangerous crossings. If riders ignore the signs, officers like Danny McCullough stop them.

“We’re not out here just to write a bunch of tickets. It’s purely a safety issue,” McCullough said.

The tickets will cost law-breaking bicyclists more than $100.

    My favorite part, “You guys don’t have the right to film me…”

    Guess what douche bag? You’re on public property you arrogant asshole, they can film you all they want. I wonder why they blurred out this dipshit’s face?

    Of course none of the bikers wanted to talk to Joe, they know there’s no excuse for not stopping.

    Typical bahavior! Center City Philadelphia has this all the time. Bicyclists interpret stop signs as yield signs and red lights as stop, then go, signs
