Closed Prohibit cyclists from cycling on roads with speed limits of over 40 mph

Closed on

The Government should change the law to make it illegal for cyclists to cycle on roads with speed limits of over 40mph, to reduce the risk of accidents, which at high speeds are more likely to have serious or fatal consequences.

I witnessed the aftermath of a fatal collision between a car and two cyclists on a 60mph road and can safely say myself and my partner are horrified. Nobody should have to go through that or witness it. I strongly believe for the safety of everyone cyclists should not to be on any road with speed limits above 40mph.
