Elizabeth Maxwell, Silverdale (abridged)
May I say how I loved to see the image of cyclists riding across the Harbour Bridge, in your recent edition
(HM June 16). It is time that other modes of transport are taken seriously, and given the same access as drivers to major parts of the network like the bridge. Drivers can no longer rule the road. In case you hadn’t noticed, we are in a climate emergency and every bike is one less vehicle, which reduces congestion as well as emissions. I’m excited to see a trial bike lane, which I believe drivers would soon come to think of as normal. And cyclists may not have to breathe in all the diesel fumes much longer as it looks like in a few years, they will be mainly sharing the road with electric vehicles.
