DON’T know why there is all this fuss about cycle lanes along the Iffley Road in Oxford. Isn’t it perfectly safe and legal for cyclists to use the footpaths?

The police and councillors always turn a blind eye to such an activity, and as for the pedestrians using them, a bit more practice is needed to leap out of the way faster.

Mothers with those triple buggies need have no fear, they will soon be able to walk along the roads with a ‘wide load’, sign attached, available from Oxford’s town hall, no doubt. Mind that 20mph speed limit, though.
