British Cycling calls for road safety reforms

General cycling, commuting

British Cycling, the national governing body for cycling in the UK, is calling for greater mutual respect between cyclists and other road users in a bid to increase road safety. Rather than take a devisive 'them and us' approach, BC want to see all road users acknowledging the risks they pose to each other and have taken steps to influence key policy makers to take action.

The organisation's campaign comes after BC published a road safety report based on member feedback. BC members want to see cycle awareness included as part of the basic driving test, increase the enforcement of law relating to mobile phone use by drivers; and improving roads and junctions that pose danger to cyclists.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
