British track team currently training in Newport, makes you think....
cyclists are now no longer able to use thanks to what they call incidents of cycling in an “anti-social manner”.
I wish they were so strict on cars on the roads than and just banned them all for
But Mazlum Kara, owner of the Coffee Shop on Upper Dock Street, said: “There are too many cyclists, there are groups of young teenagers, maybe about aged 10 to 13.“They congregate and scare people and in the school holidays you will see them more. And with the bus station next door to us, they hang around and they are anti-social. We will love the ban.”
They should deal with the actual issue rather than hit every cyclist with a ban.
I thought cyclist had the legal right to use the road - how have the rescinded this ? Any legal bods know?
Is it a pedestrianised area or normal roads? If the former, then maybe fair enough, if the latter, what are pedestrians doing wandering around in the roads? Article suggests the legislation/bylaw/whatever came in in 1998, but hasn't been enforced until now.
I'm more intregued by how the writer managed to get her knickers caught in the rear mech? 😯 ❓
