Please support this petition, tell others and raise this issue with your elected representitives
"The new highway code requires cyclists to use cycle facilities 'wherever possible'. Many facilities are of poor standard, or just plain dangerous. cyclists should not be forced to use such facilities against their better judgment. In short, cyclists should be allowed to use the road."
British Cycling believes that we need to protect the right to ride and race bicycles on the highway whether for sport, active recreation and transport. We also need to promote mutual respect amongst all road users to ensure that the we create a safe environment for the most vulnerable users. Plus we should encourage the development of complimentary traffic free cycling networks and facilities as these will encourage more people to participate in cycling as a sport, as active recreation and as active living.
