Cycling campaign opposes controversial town centre cycle ban
"Majority of cyclists are reasonable people and will dismount": which has seen "738 cyclists fined in last few months"
Under the PSPO, which according to Bedford Borough Council was put in place"following consultation suggesting that reckless riding of bicycles in Bedford town centre was reducing the quality of life of residents", cycling is not permitted in certain parts of the town centre between 9am and 6pm. "Cycling can play an important role in helping to reduce emissions and save the planet as well as improving a person's health and the NHS budget," he concluded.
"We are supposed to be encouraging people to cycle into town. Should we be fining people who are using their bikes to go into town?" > Proposed city centre e-bike ban will"discourage cycling and penalise responsible cyclists," says cycling and walking commissioner If you’ve enjoyed this article, then please consider subscribing to road.cc from as little as £1.99.
