The Trail Riders Fellowship

The organisation that represents responsible trail riders riding motorcycles on unsealed public rights of way

Preserving historic, public rights of way for the benefit of all user groups

Working to ensure local councils and highways authorities carry out their statutory rights of way duties

Campaigning for the fair and equitable treatment of all countryside user groups

Lobbying government against the exercise of prejudice in respect of countryside access issues

The Trail Riders Fellowship was established in 1970, since when the organisation has been heavily involved in preserving access to, and helping to maintain standards of, public rights of way throughout England and Wales.

We ride only on those routes – public roads – which we are legally entitled to use, preferring to avoid tarmac surfaces where possible. Because these routes are legally ‘carriageways’, just like tarmac roads, we make sure that our machines are legal too, with number plates, silencers, tax and insurance, just like any other road going machine. The only difference is that our models are usually chosen for lightness and simplicity, and equipped for rough going rather than motorways.
