Critics have previously accused the council of targeting 'old and slow' cyclists, while a disabled cyclists' campaign group has asked the council to not prevent elderly and disabled people access to local amenities
"At Wheels for Wellbeing, we've been really heartened to see reporting of so many Grimsby residents expressing their support and understanding for older and disabled people cycling slowly and considerately in pedestrianised areas. This kind of acceptance can make the difference between a disabled person becoming isolated at home, or being able to go where they want and need to be.
The group also highlights how signage, like the ones seen below in Wandsworth in London, show how all route users can be informed of such a policy. Following a day of action alongside Humberside Police, seven cyclists were fined earlier this month, cllr Shepherd saying:"It's easy to avoid a fine for cycling in the town centre. Just get off your bike and walk along the relatively short stretch of pavement. I’m grateful to everyone who does so and I ask that others do the same."
