Issued a Summons for leaning bike on wall
 

I just got issued a Summons under Municipal Bylaw 52M87 section 6 (3) 'Bike not on Rack' while stopping off at Caffe Rosso to grab a cup of coffee. I'm all for keeping society safe - but my bike was leaning up against a wall. Tax money being squandered away... why not just inform me of the bylaw and educate me? My court hearing is May 16th.

Any advice? :mad:

must be in downtown calgary. how did they get your name? just show up to court as a regular person not a bike looking person as they are generally very ignorante in calgary

Sounds like one of many types of tickets for which the officer has discretion whether to ticket you. Seems harsh in the circumstances.
