‘We got this wrong’: British Cycling apologises for advice on Queen’s funeral

• Governing body had said no one should ride on Monday
• We recognise the frustration and disappointment'

British Cycling has apologised for issuing guidance that told cyclists they should not use their bikes during the Queen's funeral. In a social media post on Thursday it said: We're sorry - we got this one wrong."

Many cyclists had also been left flummoxed by the governing body telling them on Tuesday they should not go club rides on bank holiday Monday as a mark of respect for Queen Elizabeth II, with some calling it worthy of the Stasi".
