The Editor, Re: "Bikes still lagging behind," News, Sept. 13. In reply to your recent story, "Is this a cycling city?" No, cyclists contribute nothing to the road system. I used to be a cyclist, then I realized there are too many idiot drivers out there.
Dyke road is a series of accidents waiting to happen. The money spent on the white elephant (Olympic oval) would have been more wisely spent on improving the safety for cyclists on Dyke Road.
More people use this beautiful road than the oval and the Dyke road is free and does not cost a membership fee to use.
