I was told that I couldn't take my bicycle into the recycling centre as it would be too dangerous. This was after I asked the council if I could do so, who then forwarded my request to Veolia. While waiting for them to reply I rode to the recycling centre with my recycling, some scrap metals, on the trailer. The staff were surprised to see me but let me in after I showed them the required ID.
The next day Veolia emailed to say I could not do this: dangerous, lots of site traffic, blah blah. I wrote back to say I have already done so and the site traffic at 5mph is not the danger, but it is the road traffic at 20 - 40 mph on the roads I had to use to get there.
After a couple of days I used Veolia's web form for the London HQ and put my case. I used terms such as 'anti cycling rhetoric' and 'bikelash'.
Today is now almost one week later and I have this reply from the original Veolia local administrator:
'We have been asked by the council to carry out a risk assessment at the Household Waste Recycling Centre'
I will keep fingers crossed.
