I have just been reading this, have a read
The revised Highway Code says cyclists should "use cycle facilities
where possible". If this Code is approved, cyclists will effectively
lose the right to ride on the road where there are alternative off-road
routes or adjacent facilities, irrespective of how dangerous or inconvenient
these may be.
The Highway Code has been laid before parliament. It will automatically
be approved possibly by 20 May unless it is referred to a House of
Commons Committee which cannot amend it and can only recommend the whole
document be rejected.
It will take an unprecedented amount of adverse publicity to persuade
the government to reject the Highway Code in its entirety.
If this Highway Code is approved by government cyclists will effectively
lose the right to ride on the road where there are alternative routes or
adjacent facilities.
Please register your name on the petition and persuade others to do the
same.
