Next week we are inviting various parties to comment upon the ongoing grievances developing between cyclists, proponents of cycle ways and opponents to the burgeoning use of cyclists on our roads on the shore.
We particularly would like interested parties to contributes questions and opinions that we can present to the on-air discussion which can be published on our site. Please comment.

I’m really getting p….d with the total arrogance shown by the cycling morons that frequent the roads. Now I’m not for one minute describing your average person cycling the back streets for a bit of exercise, I am specifically focussed on the packs of animals dressed up in their bicycle Lycia with every bulge on display to the world.
They show a total stuff you attitude to everyone else on the road. Travel in packs of dozens and commonly are 2 or 3 cyclists wide.
They couldn’t give a continental about other users on the road and frequently travel at speeds well in excess of local speed laws. This is on roads hardly able to cope with vehicle traffic flows. It is just a matter of time (and it won’t be long) before more serious accidents and deaths occur.
I say ban the lot. Just bloody humbugs.
You should try it from a cycling perspective. Some drivers have no idea how to drive and seem to target bikes by coming close behind or to the side. Very scary. I’ve even had cars come up behind me and hit the horn to see what happens. There are always two sides to every story.
