One unfair decision can affect every cyclist.A cyclist had their e-bike seized.
Then it was destroyed.
The worrying part? We believe the bike was completely legal.
The rider is now facing penalty points and a fine, while a community cycling scheme has lost an e-bike worth more than £6,000.
Cycling UK supports action against illegal and dangerously modified e-bikes. But when a legal e-bike can be wrongly identified because of flawed roadside testing, it raises a much bigger question.
If this can happen to one cyclist, could it happen again?
We're taking action to challenge this decision. Will you help us continue the fight? This is exactly why the Cyclists' Defence Fund exists.
Please make a donation today to stand up for cyclists' rights.
Right now, we're taking action. We've written to the police force involved to challenge the basis of the decision, and we're using our legal and campaigning expertise to push for a fair outcome. We're also supporting the rider affected by the case and working to ensure that the questions it raises are properly addressed.
Because if flawed processes go unchallenged, they risk affecting many more cyclists in the future. For 25 years, the Cyclists' Defence Fund has helped Cycling UK challenge cases that could shape the future of cycling. From defending individual cyclists against unfair treatment to protecting cycling infrastructure and standing up for safer streets, the Fund exists because one unfair decision really can affect every cyclist.
Today, your support will help us continue challenging this live case—and make sure we're ready for the next one.
Every donation helps Cycling UK stand up for cyclists when legal decisions could affect us all, ensuring today's unfair decision doesn't become tomorrow's accepted practice.
If you can, please make a gift today. For every donation, we'll also send you our specially designed Cycling UK mug as a thank-you for standing with cyclists.
