I know a lot of people on here signed the petition asking the government to allow access for horse riders to cycle paths. I received an email today notifying me that the government has responded.

So basically they are saying that this is a local authority issue. Personally I think it is a terrible shame that riders are excluded from these paths. Makes me very cross, especially when many cyclists ignore the ones that are there, passed a chap today, perfectly good off road cycle path following the route of the road and crossing the dual carriageway safely but he rode along the road
