Sir – I was appalled by Dagmara Platuska’s letter arguing a case for cyclists to cycle on the footpaths. The footpath is for pedestrians.
I am an old man but I walk around Oxford a great deal and every time I go out, I always encounter people cycling on the pavements and several times I have been nearly knocked over.
I wish the police would be more strict about this. If drivers are driving carelessly then they need be reprimanded as well, but please keep cyclists off the pavements.
Robert Jeffery, Cowley
