IN REPLY to James Styring ‘On yer bike’ (OxfordMail, November 3), I find it very difficult to understand a glaring mistake in his point about a viable west/east/west cycle route.

How about cyclists actually obeying the Queen Street regulations as they stand: dismounting at one end, walking the not-too-inconsiderable distance to the other, and remounting?

Obviously the ‘educated’ cyclists among us will find this concept very difficult to perceive, along with other rules such as having lights, having an audible alarm on a cycle, riding on footpaths, cycling the wrong way along a one-way street, and going through red traffic signals.

I hope this helps Mr Styring with a less-convoluted answer to his dilemma.
