Where can I ride?

Hey all,

Only been riding on the road for about 2 months now. And just want to ask a quick question.

There is a route I am interested in, but to get there you have to cross the junctions for a main A road (A421) and I have always wondered if it is safe to do so?

As far as I know you can ride anywhere except if it is sign posted and so I'm just wondering if you can cycle across it...??

    Of course it's legal to cycle on any A road apart from the few where specific no-cycling signs are provided. If it's safe depends on your own judgement, the road layout etc. Only you can judge that. I suspect it is.

    Dunno where you are but I often ride along the 421.

    You can't go on motorways and dual c/ways designated as motorway. Railway lines are probably a no-no (along, across would be ok).

    Go where you please. Roads are a shared national resource that everyone has a right to. Using a motor vehicle on them is only allowed under licence. Safety is a subjective opinion; your opinion is the most important in that situation. No-one else should be making it for you. (it is safe though :wink: )
