YOUR SHOUT

Crikey! Once you start a debate about good/bad cyclists, it’s like a never-ending spinning wheel: Fiona, having been a runner, now a cyclist, for many years, I always try to be safe and watch out for pedestrians and other road users. You get one person who upsets people and everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Cyclists, walkers and runners are keeping fit and healthy, and are not creating toxic fumes. Fewer cyclists equals more cars, more unhealthy people. I’ve been knocked off my bike and had things thrown at me from cars. Give us a chance. Don’t knock the 99% because of the bad 1%.

Fiona, as a keen cyclist nothing winds me up more than seeing fully grown men cycling on the pavement, usually to avoid having to wait at a crossing, set of lights etc. Just to confirm, for all you non-cyclists out there, we are not all wallies. Honest! Darren Riley, via email

Fiona, I had to laugh reading letters from irate cyclists on your page last week. The following day the Ironman Challenge Wales was held in Tenby. While walking through the town, one of them came past, pushing his bike, then suddenly turned right in front of me. Luckily, I managed to stop as I’m sure any collision would have been my fault. When we got back to the hotel, another one was working on his bike. Not outside, but inside, by reception. He looked quite put out when I dared to (politely) ask him to move. What can I say? I’m selfish. Sally O’Mahony via email
