Thanks for posting this, good to see that the Councils are waking up to the problem. The trick now will be to get them to work together!

Strangely, it was feedback from the cyclists themselves that set me off on this one. Some of might not be educated beyond Masters level, but we do research cycling sites as well; it is appalling that people put others' lives in danger through the use of yacks, mud, rolling road blocks etc...

Good point, but if we can hit the magic number and it does not get through, it should not be too difficult to get an interested MP to use it as evidence and raise it on behalf of their constituents. There is an election looming in 2015 and regular riders represent 6% of the UK population!

Thanks. To force a Parliamentary debate, it would need 100,000, or about 1 in 50 of the horse riding community. Seems almost impossible at this stage, but everything has to start somewhere. The more that people share it on FB and Twitter, the better and if we can tap into the farming community...

I am sorry that militants from both ends of the spectrum seem to have hijacked this thread and that it has been diverted from its original purpose. For those who are interested, it might be worth reading posts 1 and 55 to see why the thread is here. It is not about restricting people in pursuing...

Having strated the thread I am beginning to wish that I could shut it down. The point was a simple one and was about organised "sportives" whose organisers push the existing rules to the limit and send hundreds of cyclists down single track roads without any prior notice or marshalling. This is...

There is always one! You should see what I have posted on some cycling websites..............
