This strategy for motorcycling is for England and it applies to on-road motorcycling. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) leads on issues raised by motorcycling off-road. On 20 January 2005, following consultation, DEFRA announced the Government’s position on use of rights of way by mechanically propelled vehicles. The strategy is supported by the programme of work undertaken by the Advisory Group on Motorcycling (AGM) and takes account of its views. The purpose of the AGM is described in Chapter 2, Motorcycling – The Story So Far. Its report to Government, published on 2 August 2004, contains a wealth of background and information on motorcycling issues, as well as the recommendations to Government, and should be read in conjunction with this strategy.
