Background
Currently The Highway Code (Rule 124) and the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 don't include cyclists in speed limit regulations meant for motor vehicles. We feel this is causing a danger as it allowing cyclists to undertake vehicles which can lead to accidents. We also think it is a danger to pedestrians, a cyclist hitting a pedestrian still causes damage to both pedestrians and rider.
