Apparently not.
I have got a copy of the proposed regulations, and in there, it states:4 Application
(1) These Regulations apply to every pedal cycle other than –
(a) a pedal cycle so constructed that the pedals act on any wheel or on the axle of any wheel without the interposition of any gearing or chain;
(b) a pedal cycle which –
(i) has been brought temporarily into the Island,
(ii) is being ridden by a person resident outside the Island, and
(iii) complies with article 26 of the International Convention on Road Traffic signed at Geneva on 19th September 1949 as amended; and
© a competition bicycle.
Is this the excuse some of us need to treat ourselves to a "competition" bicycle, whatever that may be. Racer? Mountainbike?0
