"Following a high-profile campaign from CTC, the Government has agreed
to amend the Highway Code to improve cyclists' safety and to encourage
drivers to take more care around vulnerable road users.
In total over 40 rules have been changed to the benefit of cyclists.
The new version makes clear that cyclists have every right to cycle on
the road. Rules 61 and 63 state that cycle lanes and cycle facilities,
are "not compulsory" and the decision to use them "will depend on your
experience and skills".
