Sir – May it be suggested persons such as Mr Allen (Letters, July 28) take a read of the Highway Code before accusing cyclists who use roads rather than cycle paths as ‘offenders’. Cyclists are free to ride on any road they so wish with the exception of those designated as a motorway.
As a lifelong cyclist I have always found the idea of painting cycle paths on to footpaths rather odd, when cycling on a footpath is an offence.
