Cyclists have a statutory right to use these ways, which should be meaning behind the designated. The fact there is no requirement to maintain a Public Bridleway to a standard acceptable to all cyclists, does not impact on the right to use the way. It's a secondary matter that does not fall under "access". Or looking at this in another way. The fact a Public Footpath does not have to meet standards that would allow ALL pedestrians to use them, but does not mean a public footpath should be tagged foot=yes Jass
