Frequently Asked Questions

Q : Can I ride my motorcycle on bridleways or footpaths ?
A : No. Nor can you ride on Restricted Byways. Only 'Byways' and Unclassified County Roads.

Q : I've bought a motorcycle but I'm not old enough to hold a licence, can I still ride on Green Roads ?
A : No. You and your motorcycle must be 'road legal', Green Roads are legally roads. Besides how are you going to get to them ?

Q : I've got a motorcrosser, what would I need to do to get it road legal, so I can ride it on Green Roads ?
A : To be frank, you'd be better off getting a proper trail bike. The costs and hassle involved would not make it worth while. MX'ers are generally very 'peaky' in thier power delivery, trail riding requires bottom end 'grunt' rather than out right power. Then there is the trouble of getting it registered with DVLA, not to mention insurance & MOT hassles.

Q : I've got a road legal quad, can I join the TRF ?
A : Yes, you are welcome to join the TRF as long as you and your quad are road legal and you agree to abide by the Code of conduct.

Q : I want to go 'off-roading', where are the Green Roads near me ?
A : Firstly, Trail Riding is not 'off-road', the routes we use are legally roads. Secondly, your local TRF group will know, get in touch or go to a meeting. All TRF group's details can be found here

Q : Where can I buy a map of Green Roads ?
A : You can't, although byways are shown on Ordnance Survey maps that can be purchased from W.H.Smith or similar large high street outlets. Join your nearest TRF group and go out on runs with them, you'll soon learn where they are.

Q : Why are there no TRF groups in Scotland, Northen Ireland or Eire?
A : Unfortunately Scotland has a different legal system which we have little knowledge of and therefore can not offer advice on. The same applies to Northen Ireland and Eire.

Q : I would like to join the TRF, how do I go about it?
A : First find your nearest group. This page contains contact information for all TRF groups. Then use our online secure payment with paypal to join us.
