Closed petition Ban cyclists from wearing balaclavas without a genuine reason

We want the Government to ban cyclists from wearing balaclavas without a genuine. This should help prevent criminals using bikes to commit crimes from hiding their identity.

More details

I have had three instances this year where someone has tried to either take my bag or my phone or even my dog all with one thing in common - they were all on bikes and all wearing balaclavas. There is no reason this should be the case in summer. It should only be legal for cyclists to wear balaclavas where they have a genuine reason.
