Letter: Silent cyclists
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: Ernie Sears and Tom Barrance (Letters, 14 and 18 February) may be barking up the wrong tree. Section 30 of the Countryside Act 1968, whilst conferring upon cyclists the right to ride on a bridleway, requires those doing so to "give way to pedestrians and persons on horseback". What need then of any audible warning, save in emergency if one's brakes have failed.
