It is reassuring to know that safety is the major consideration in this weekend’s cycling event.
Reassuring, too, is the commitment from the organisers that consideration towards other road-users will be part of the safety briefing.
Island-wide events such as these arouse strong feelings in people and it is important to remember that the roads on Arran are intended for all road-users, including cars, cyclists, caravans, motorhomes and even pedestrians.
