WITH regard to your important article (February 11), I’d like to mention a little thing that might seem insignificant but I think it’s worthy of note.

When cycling, consider something else as well as these four important things: wear a skid lid; a glow coat; double gloves (in case you come off and fall on your hands); and yellow cycle clips.

When overtaken by a car at the red traffic lights, stop just behind the driver. When you come to think about it, a driver sitting down is not very tall and a halted cyclist blocks their view of the traffic lights, so leaving them a clear all-round field of vision is a good thing.

Thanks for our daily paper. Where would we be without it?
