The track is well-used but has many parts which are secluded

Antisocial and criminal behaviour on the Bristol to Bath cycle track is to be targeted by police following a rise in crime on the popular route.
Uniformed police and plain-clothed officers will be out to gather information and arrest offenders.
A police spokeswoman said although it was well-used, parts of the track were secluded and away from populated areas.
"We know offenders use motorbikes after committing a crime. We are working hard to bring these people to justice."
Insp Polly Johnson added: "Following the operation we held last summer which saw 13 arrests we have continued with patrols of the cycle track and have done a lot of work to make the area safer and those who use it feel more secure.
"This is an opportunity to put extra resources into the issue," she said.
