Letter: Motorcycles for everyday journeys: fast and fun, or dangerous?

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: Your small piece on motorcycling - 'Cut through the jams and beat the train' - in today's report on the Motor Show, leads me to hope that the Independent will be giving as much space to the International Motorcycle Show at the National Exhibition Centre next week. I can confirm the views of Findlay Macpherson (that a motorcycle is by far the best means of transport for everyday journeys to work, and not only in London), and what's more it is still fun. Although riding in the wet is less amusing, it is surprisingly unusual for rain to be falling during the journey.
