In the news

mine went more like this:

Dear Mr Grayling.

I am disappointed to hear in the media that as Minister for Transport
you do not consider cyclists to be “road users”. I understand that
you had a recent encounter where you 'doored' a passing cyclist and
didn't abide by the law on passing your details to the victim of this
collision, so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that your personal
attitude, despite your responsibilities, carries over into your
political views.

Regardless of your personal beliefs, you are paid to represent all
road users. As a driver, cyclist and pedestrian, and unfortunately
sometimes a victim of our de-nationalised train system, I don't
distinguish between forms of road use because in essence, all people
are using it for the basic activity of getting from A-B, and all
people contribute to its upkeep via general taxation.

Your comments fly in the face of generations of political policy in
trying to encourage economical and healthy forms of transport, and
betray a personal prejudice that has no place being in the position of
power you find yourself in.

If you have decided that you and your ministry no longer represent
cyclists then I would be most ingratiated for you to adjust the tax
allocation towards the upkeep of the transport system accordingly,
and, to quickly provide a much better improved system of segregated
cycle lanes that will allow cycle travel throughout the UK without
being forced to cohabit roads that you do not believe are designed or
fit for cycle use.

Alternatively, you could revise your public statement, apologise for
the miscomprehension of your ministerial brief, and take greater care
in future when articulating yourself in discussion of your remit. And
of course, remember to look in the mirror before opening the door of
your free ministerial Jaguar.

Yours in despondency,
