Spanish croissant-eating cyclist fined for reckless driving

A cyclist in Spain was fined €100 ($135) recently for eating a croissant while riding his bicycle.

Ivan González was given the fine after a policeman spotted him eating the breakfast pastry while riding through central Sabadell, in Spain's Catalonia region.



He was on his way to work when a local policeman waved him down and wrote out a ticket for reckless driving.

An indignant González said he planned to appeal the decision. Even police at the local station appeared confused by the hefty penalty, he said.
