Sir – I despair at my fellow cyclists, not only do they cycle through red lights, cycle on pavements and cycle without lights, it appears they also cannot read.

At the beginning of the single file traffic at the Iffley Road roadworks there is a large notice, white letters on a red background, asking cyclist to dismount and use the footpath.

I had dismounted and was pushing my bike on the footpath whilst my fellow cyclists were either cycling on the road or cycling on the footpath.

What exactly do they think the notice means I wonder?

If we cannot abide by the rules of the road/the Highway Code, perhaps we do not deserve the Iffley Road cycle lane currently under consideration.

I have come to the view all cyclists should be required to wear reflective vests bearing the rider’s own individual “registration” number so individuals who break the law can be identified.
