Depends on what the road is closed for. In most cases that I've seen a cyclist does not impede any road works etc and can easily dismount and walk around the works. A car/lorry or bus can't do that. It's all down to common sense really. |

It's all down to common sense really. Maybe Nugent never realised that a bicycle can be taken through a gap a person can get through. I have been let through closures by the police. A curious story. If the police were there and really didn't want anybody or anything through (for reason other than gap) it seems a bit odd they didn't turn the person away, rather than complaining about it later. |

Often I have to get off my bike to get past. And that's fine as long as the road isn't also closed to pedestrians! |
