Barrie Enderby had been cycling through Grimsby town centre for 40 years with no issues before being slapped with a fine this month
An 82-year-old man says he would rather go to jail than pay the £100 fine he has been issued for cycling through a town centre. Barrie Enderby, from Grimsby, who regularly bikes around Grimsby town centre, says he told a council officer 'stick it up your a**e' when he was slapped with the fine earlier this month.
Barrie said he was "quite frustrated" at being asked to pay the £100 fine. "I've seen all sorts going on around town in the past and they chose to give me a ticket," he said. "I don't see why I should get penalised, but all these people speeding about on scooters seem to get no punishment," he explained. "In my opinion, they're much worse than a cyclist. If I'm honest, I feel hard done to and I now worry about where I can and can't go on my bike."
