That should be considered breaking the law and warrant a ticket, and the more times a bicyclist gets a ticket for that, the amount should increase. No wasting money to send them to jail or anything like that, just make the offense come with a ticket that gets bigger if violations continue.

My biggest issue with bikes are the ones who give us a bad name by thinking they are above cars and pedestrians, and can function as a moving vehicle and pedestrian at the same time.

If someone drove their car down the wrong way on a street, people don't just go "oh he is a car driver, so he can do whatever he wants when driving." That same rule should apply to bicyclist, including messenger bikers and delivery bikers.
