NATIONAL Bike Week should be marked by adopting a campaign urging motorists to keep a safe distance from cyclists, Councillor Kevin Campbell has said.
He added: “At this weekend’s Sinn Féin Ard Fheis a motion will be brought forward calling on public bodies across Ireland to adopt the 1.5 metre campaign.
“This campaign encourages drivers to keep to a safe distance of 1.5 metres when overtaking cyclists.
“We need to do all we can to promote road safety for everyone and this will be another step in the right direction.”
