Racing on the public highway is a criminal offence. If you were to do it in
a car or on a motorcycle, you’d probably be banned.
Yet cycle races are far from uncommon. Lycra clad thugs racing around, a danger not only to other vehicles, but pedestrians. Why can’t they use race tracks or even places like Silverstone?

Those who want to race cars must pay to use tracks.

They may pay to use roads, without being banned:
