A cyclist gave police a false name after he was seen riding on a pavement.
Nicholas Skinner (19) was seen cycling on a pavement in Westlode Street, Spalding, by police on the afternoon of June 14.

He rode between parked vehicles and onto the correct side of the street after officers shouted at him to get off the pavement and was later seen parking his bike outside Maples Solicitors.

Spalding magistrates heard on Tuesday that Skinner told the officer his name was Gareth Searle before his real identity was revealed by another officer.

Skinner, of London Road, Spalding, was charged with failing to give his name to an officer and riding a cycle on the footpath but did not respond to the court summons.

He was also facing a charge of failing to comply with a red light but this was withdrawn.

Magistrates fined Skinner £60 for not giving his name and address and £40 for riding on a path. He was also ordered to pay costs of £60 and a victim surcharge of £15.
