Police fined 83 cyclists who failed to have lights on their bikes during a crackdown in Oxford city centre last night.
The £30 fines were issued in High Street between 6.30pm and 9pm.
Cyclists were issued the penalty tickets, but were told the fine would be dropped if they showed a valid receipt for the purchase of a new set of bike lights at their nearest police station within seven days.
The operation was run to coincide with the clocks turning back one hour at the weekend.
During a similar operation a year ago, only 53 cyclists were fined.
Two more cyclists received £30 penalty tickets for jumping red lights while police were carrying out the operation.
