There has been rising concerns and reports from communities across Scotland over the illegal use of off-road bikes and other mechanically propelled bikes including mopeds, e-bikes and e-scooters.
Complaints often centre around off-road bikes becoming a threat to the public as the bikes are ridden recklessly in residential areas, town centres, on pavements and in green spaces – with no concern from the
riders for their own safety or that of the public.
I am happy to support Crimestoppers summer campaign that aims to support communities in reporting anonymously to their charity and providing information on where people can safely and legally enjoy riding their bike.
