Facebook group backs MCN's Reclaim North Wales campaign

A Facebook group is backing MCN’s campaign to reclaim North Wales for bikers
The group – which was not started by MCN – has gained nearly 400 members within hours of being created.

We’re challenging North Wales Police’s treatment of motorcyclists – described by officers elsewhere as an “enforce and displace” strategy – by encouraging as many of you as possible to ride there on Sunday September 13.

Support the cause with our ‘reclaim North Wales’ t-shirt. All profits go to Riders for Health.

We decided action was needed after the force admitted stopping around 400 motorcyclists every summer weekend including 350 who have committed no offence.

Sharron Kerry, one of the group’s 383 members, comments: ‘They are lovely roads to ride on. They won’t stop us no matter how hard they might try… Hope you have a good turn-out for this very good cause.’

We’re asking readers to meet us at two points easily accessible from outside the region at midday and again at 4pm in the heart of Snowdonia National Park. Our aim is to remind the force whose roads they are by exercising our right to enjoy them within the law – click here for more info on the campaign.
