Where does James Styring get the notion that cyclists have more right to the road than motorists? Cyclists contribute nothing.
They are a nuisance to us motorists and also a danger to themselves.
They gather in packs, sometimes riding two or three abreast, jump red lights at crossings, without warning turning right suddenly, as if we have a crystal ball to tell us what they intend.
I very often suggest that they should ride out in fields with the other nuisances on the road – horses and their riders.
If, as he suggests, roads were intended for cyclists, why are they at least 20 feet wide, when they would only need to be eight feet feet wide for cyclists?
Cycle tracks are meant for cyclists, but you rarely see a cyclist on them because they are all out on our roads, causing havoc with the traffic.
The person who invented the mountain bike needs a pat on the back; they had the right idea to – get them off the road.
