Cyclists are being reminded that they are banned from the Mountain Road until Monday afternoon.

The measure was announced as part of the road safety campaign for this year’s Festival of Motorcycling.

But officers from the Roads Policing Unit said they came across a number of cyclists on the Mountain Road today (Saturday).

They pointed out that even though racing is over, the cycle ban between Ramsey Hairpin and the Creg ny Baa Back Road remains in place until 4.30pm on Monday (September 4).
