The Times letters page has been very disappointing. Yesterday, a brilliant letter from the CTC and then three outrageous letters from ignorant numpties who probably hadn't been on a bike for 50 years preaching unscientific nonsense about cycle safety. Apparently we should be obliged to use mirrors and be decked out "like Christmas trees".
In other words, cycling safety is the sole responsibility of the cyclist. The campaign is meant to be dispelling this myth. Why does The Times give them a platform for their ignorant nonsense?
