What licence do you have?

The only restrictions are on the use of motorways as far as I'm aware and you can't go on these without a full licence and a bike that has a certain cc, 125 I think!

Motorways, Full licence holders only (Passed your test restricted or not).

A roads, L platers and full licence holders.

B roads, L platers and full licence holders.

Private roads, Anyone.

Anyone with a license (provisional or full) can go on A & B roads.

For motorways you have to have a full license and no bikes under 50cc.

Although I would say that some B roads are definitely not recommended if you are unable to reach the speed of the general flow of traffic. You'll be overtaken an awful lot which can be very dangerous.

E.G. in the same way you shouldn't ever go on an A road with a 30MPH ped

i'm afraid i would have to agree that going 30mph on a busy A-road is dangerous. two of my mates were involved in a collision because they were going to slow for cars pulling off of a slip road onto the main carriageway.
ask c_dug on here as he was one of the people involved.
(not saying that i wouldn't go on an A-road on a 30mph, just saying that it is dangerous)

lozzypop1, I completely agree with you. I didn't mean to give out that misinformation of engine size not mattering on just a CBT. I was however told that by someone with a full bike licence which is why I trusted them, as it turns out now I shouldn't have.

Also I know what you're saying... A roads are EVERYWHERE. Half the roads in my town are 30MPH speed limit residential A roads probably.

What I was talking about are NSL roads and I know that I should have clarified that earlier. What I mean is - look at a road map of the UK. All of the green A roads you see there (the NSL ones) are the ones that would be death on a ped mostly. Same with those B roads that connect towns and villages where traffic moves rather quickly.

I don't claim to know more than an average person, I just enjoy trying to contribute to discussion. The more I do, the more I end up learning as well as I am corrected or affirmed. Also, the occasional pieces of information that I have gotten wrong I don't think points to me not knowing very much as far as riding experience is concerned on the roads. The last one and a half years on the road have been amazing for me. I push myself up to the current limit of my abilities and always try to be better and better, experimenting and practising the fine details of control like any biker who loves riding should be doing. Obviously I'm still on the journey to getting to where I want to get to.

Finally, lol at the 8MPH mobility scooter on that road

iooi, I could only argue that cyclists are less wide than a moped and that a motorbike filtering past cars is far safer than a car attempting the same

Not sure that they are great arguments really, just my opinion.
