Snowdon Voluntary Cycling Agreement
To help avoid accidents involving cyclists and walkers when the paths to the summit of Snowdon are extremely busy from May to September a voluntary agreement has been negotiated between:
The Snowdonia National Park
Gwynedd County Council
CTC
Welsh Cycling Union
International Mountain Bicycling Association
It has been agreed that between the hours of 10.00 am and 5 pm from 1st May to 30th September cyclists should not cycle on the Snowdon bridleways shown on the map below.

Bridleways affected by the agreement |

It is expected that all cyclists will act responsibly and observe this agreement, sometimes referred to as a 'voluntary ban'. The alternative may be a complete, actual ban on Snowdon's bridleways.
Please follow the off-road Cycling Code
Stay on the bridleway
Give way to horses and walkers
leave gates as you find them
Avoid severe braking
In the event of a serious accident on the mountain dial 999 and ask for North Wales Police.
REMEMBER! Cyclists who ride "recklessly and without due care and attention...or take part in a race or trial of speed" contravene the Road Traffic Act 1988.
