(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Cycle Racing on Highways Regulations 1960, as amended, which only apply to England and Wales, authorise certain races or trials of speed between bicycles or tricycles, not being motor vehicles, to be held on public highways. The Regulations distinguish between a race or trial of speed being a "time trial" and any other kind of race or trial being a "bicycle race".
To be authorised, "bicycle races" must be held and conducted in accordance with the "standard conditions" and in particular, the number of competitors in two, but not more than two, races promoted in any one year by the British Cycling Federation must not exceed 100. In the case of any "bicycle race" not so promoted, these Regulations amend the "standard conditions" by increasing the maximum number of competitors from 60 to 80.
1988 c. 52; section 31 was amended by paragraph 49 of Schedule 4 to the Road Traffic Act 1991 (c. 40).
