Please, let’s not get into deriding cyclists. I have seen a cyclist’s dead body on a sidewalk in Central London. I am happy to share a pavement with cyclists as long as they ride carefully and with respect for pedestrians, because they are so much safer on the pavement than on the roads. I have no problem either with cyclists going through red lights so long as they do not expect right of way. I applaud Boris’ plans to establish cycle superhighway routes into Central London and to expand cycling in the capital. It is “events” such as the Ealing Sky Ride that I object to, for which exclusive use of the streets where we live is awarded to one group of people, thus infringing upon the liberty of residents who had plans for their weekend other than cycling that involved vehicular access to their homes. Councillors should show respect for residents by refusing permission for such whimsical events and finding other ways to promote cycling.
