    The Shipley Harley Rally ride out – a charity event that sees hundreds of motorcycles roll out of the town – has been called off due to red tape.

    The event, which usually features Harley-Davidson fans driving their vehicles around Baildon, was scheduled to take place on 26 August.

    Organisers cited health and safety regulations for road closures and “other legislation” as making it “impossible to continue with the ride out”.

    Although the ride out is not taking place the rally itself is still being held at Baildon Rugby and Cricket Club.
