Bike Worcester

Danny and Rob from Bike Worcester review the permitted cycling routes through Worcester City Centre. As of October 2024, there is a set of Traffic Regulation Orders that prohibit mobility scooters, motor vehicles, and cycling between the hours of 10am and 6pm. The TRO is not enforced by West Mercia Police and Bike Worcester has suggested for many years that Worcestershire County Council review the scheme and focus on enabling routes for cycling across the City (North to South, and East to West).More details on the Bike Worcester website and Worcester News
