# The Cycle Racing on Highways (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 1996, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Cycle Racing on Highways (Scotland) Regulations 1960 (“the principal Regulations”) authorise the holding of races or trials of speed between bicycles or tricycles, not being motor cycles, on public highways subject to certain conditions.
One of the conditions contained in regulation 5(1)(a)(i) of the principal Regulations as substituted by S.I. 1982/1639 is that in races, apart from those selected by the Scottish Cyclists Union, the number of competitors must not exceed a maximum of 60.
These Regulations increase that maximum to 80 competitors.
