Three-time Olympic champion Ed Clancy joins police close pass operation cycling
British Cycling track legend Ed Clancy — winner of three Olympic team pursuit golds, four Olympic medals in total, twelve medals including six golds at the World Championships, European and Commonwealth titles, MBE and OBE recipient — joined South Yorkshire Police earlier this month as they undertook their latest close pass operation.
Clancy shared pictures of the May 3 work on social media, saying it"marks the start of my mission as Active Travel Commissioner to work with terrific teams like this to bring about safer roads in South Yorkshire for everyone". As the force has explained previously, these operations work by teams of 'undercover' cyclists riding along roads of interest. When they are close passed by a driver, the rider communicates to officers further up the road who then stop the motorist who is educated on the dangers of close passing cyclists or given a fixed penalty notice if a particularly dangerous offence is committed.
