The university police department has been cracking down on cyclists. Reece Williamson has the story.

You see them everywhere -- hopping curbs, riding on sidewalks and even riding the wrong way on one-way streets. It's obvious that many cyclists don't think the rules of the road apply to them. This kind of behavior has resulted in tougher law enforcement. The University and the San Marcos police departments are writing more tickets.

Even though all of the rules of the road apply to cyclists, some say the penalties are too harsh.

University Police Department says that the rules are there to keep all vehicular traffic safe. When accidents occur, cyclists are the ones who usually pay the price. They're more vulnerable to injury.
(SB)
Several riders, including Alvin Benedict, feel the police should enforce the rules equally for all vehicles.
Stand up: No matter how you get yourself to campus, if you don't follow the rules on the road you will get a ticket. Remember safety first. For Bobcat Update I'm Reece Williamson.
