RESPECT for cyclists? You must be joking.

Yesterday I dropped my mother off at the opticians in Southbourne and whilst waiting outside in my car, I counted 27 cyclists riding on the pavement and only three using the road.

The majority of pedestrians were elderly and one nearly fell over trying to avoid a cyclist.

They should be stopped by the police as car drivers are, to present tax, insurance and a licence.

It’s not a case of one rotten apple in the barrel, it’s a case of most rotten apples in the barrel.

What’s the point of cycle lanes?

Respect?

Pah!
