Sir – I quite agree with the letter (August 25, Plea to Pedestrians). Pedestrians do need to be aware of road users and look before they step out. However, cyclists, it shouldn’t be necessary for me to do this before I try to overtake a fellow pedestrian on the pavement.
Chris Day sums it up perfectly: “My bike is silent” which is exactly why his fellow cyclists should be on the road, where they belong and not on the pavement.
