I am shocked and extremely angry, and I feel I have been treated like a criminal when I am an honest citizen who made an accidental error, unaware of this cycling ‘ban’ in certain areas. Clearly, something is very, very wrong with this, I am questioning the very purpose of this ban. If the aim is to honestly prevent cycling that is a potential danger to others in the pedestrian area, it is plainly not working. Cycle Ban sign about 10ft high on a lamp post on Silver Street, Bedford Town Centre. One thing is certain, I feel less inclined to go into the town centre at all now.
