Letter: Lawful cycling
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I have cycled in London for three years, cycling over 100 miles a week, and I must disagree with Mr Hollinghurst (letter, 12 May). Cycling on footpaths and the wrong way up one-way streets has nothing to do with safety. It is usually more to do with laziness.
I agree there should be more provision for cyclists, but if we want to be treated as legitimate road users by car drivers then we must be seen to use the the roads in a legitimate fashion.
