Don't cycle in Manx glens, police say

Police are warning bikers not to cycle in the Island's national glens.

The message comes after a near miss between a cyclist and a walker in Molly Quirks Glen earlier this week.

Officers say under Forestry Byelaws it's illegal to cycle in any of the 18 Manx glens because of narrow and steep paths, blind corners, bridges and vertical drops.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture says it's gone to great lengths to provide other cycling paths across the Island and asks riders to respect the rules.
