Incredible contraption stopped by officers in Weymouth
Last updated 28th Nov 2020
An ingenious homemade engine driven bicycle has failed to impress Dorset Police.
Looking at the photo of this fascinating two-wheeled conversion leaves you wondering how to describe exactly what it is. In the eyes of the law it's illegal. You'll have to make up your own mind.
Weymouth Police had recently had reports of a man riding a petrol powered adapted bicycle in and around the town.
RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
On Friday afternoon (27 Nov 2020) Officers spotted the man using his 'DIY' super bike on the Rodwell Trail.
The man was stopped by Police and the Officers (who probably did see the funny side of this incident), have reported the bike rider to court for a number of 'driving offences'.
The 'weird machine' of a bike has now been seized.
