I agree with John Lavender about cyclists holding up the motorists who are on their lunch break or speeding home to see their loved ones over pie and chips.

They should be dealt with severely, if they don’t comply with Mr L’s guidelines.

First offence the boys in blue should let down their tyres, second offence they should hand them a ‘slow ticket’ with a fixed penalty of say £20 that’ll teach them to save petrol/electricity!

Go a bit further – ban those damn pedestrians from slowing down the motorists by banning them from pedestrian crossings at rush hours.

However Mr L, slow down if you’ll pardon the expression.

There’s a point you may have missed. I for one used my bike every day from 1974-2011 for work.

I still get out regularly to do various errands not necessarily to keep fit, because it saves petrol, so I can go to my local and enjoy burger and chips.

My advice to you is to give any cyclists space to cycle safely.

What about those selfish sods who press the button and then walk across on a red man without waiting for the green one?

What about those selfish sods that cycle happily through red lights without
waiting for the green one?
