• Governing body initially said no one should cycle 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 they 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”.
