Please can some one advice me what to do

Hello I need some help,
I don't normally ride my bike in this area but for some reason I was in a world of my own, and came out of a shop, and got my bike and got on it. Started to ride, but got stopped by some boy that works for kingdom enforcement. I would of stopped myself. But was too late, he was fall of his self, and said I was riding and it's against the law to be doing so at these times. I said what about those people he said I'm dealing with you and ignored me. I said those guys could stop them, but he wasn't interested and basically gave me a £60 to £80 fine! Yes I made a few second mistake, but I honestly didn't think, I don't normally ride on there any way, and every one always rides on it, so didn't think. And the signs ain't dotted in lots of locations, just at two areas front of the street and back, but not for everyone to see. I did get high ratted and moan, and I said il just get back
On my bike then, instead of him saying don't do that other wise we will stop you, he thought he would be the big man, and follow me and harras me, and it was very intimidating and I was very scared being harassed like that followed! You could tell I wasn't going to get on my bike. So I shouted and said stop falling me etc, he said he isn't but he was, he !!!!ed me off. So I question one of his mates who also works with him, and he said that I done wrong have to pay, I said but why have so many people gone past and you guys ignored them, they didn't seem bothered. I felt like they where targeting me because I was a girl, as most guys riding past didn't get stopped. I see one man get stopped, and he told him off and said don't do it again, but didn't give him a fine! How is that fair, I even said to this guy his friend is harnessing me watching me and it's wrong, and he was sitting on a bench staring at me which a grin, i said all these people going past and his ignoring them and he could stop them, but his too busy watching me even though I was talking to another guy. I'm worried about this, him following me, like that, as his got my address as well. How can you fine some people and not others by doing the same thing! And then to continue to follow me. That's not on, surly, how do I get out of paying this fine, as I have no job and no money, and it's worrying me. Please someone help me with advice please

Sorry about spellings,

Wow, whoever knew that 'unauthorised cycling' was a thing? Atrocious of Peterborough Council; Jeez, it's bad enough having utter scum parking firms, and 'litter police' cheating & lying to ticket people.

Fines for walking on the cracks in the pavement next? Or maybe ''Walking around with an offensive wife''?

Only in the UK would people think this was OK :

Is there anyway I can not pay this and if so what do I do?

I thought these bonus incentivised muppets were only engaged to fine litter louts and dog fouling I can't find anything about riding a cycle where you shouldn't.

I think I would have walked off they can only get the police to force you to identify yourself and pod would either have been too busy or let you off with a caution. But maybe I'm wrong.

In any case this is a nasty power mad muppet over stepping his job role by the look of it, don't know what you can do I suppose it could come under "antisocial behaviour".

The company turns in around £9M a year nice little earner.

I get I done wrong all of a second,

In my small town in the Costs Blanca, riding a bike on the promenade is against the law. Get caught by the cops and there is an instant fine.

Just pay up and abide by the law in future.

Yep, it's mentioned in the gloating summary in the first link in my reply post #3 above.

Nasty!

Who on earth in any Council, would want to restrict the healthy option of cycling?!

It's par for the course nowadays with councils, overpayed
bosses who are clueless

My council has an MD who can't even reply to a letter
When queried, I was told he does not reply to letters ????

Conclusion .... my council employs complete idiots who
sponge off the state

Is it a council fine? If you contact them they will tell you what appeal mechanisms there might be.
However arguing that you were fined when other people weren't is unlikely to be successful.
