Thank You

THE BRITISH PACING ASSOCIATION exists to further the cause of paced cycle racing and training in Britain. It's members who are licensed by British Cycling to drive the motorbikes in use today all are prevented from doing so because they, British Cycling, are unwilling to facilitate the necessary insurance cover required which is in line with the UCI..Every other country which licenses pacers provides this cover which is the reason why Bryan Taylor and Simon Cope are kindly paced by Bruno Walrave and Wilfried Kluge in the good friday stayers race 2005.
