Sir, - As I sit here reading Damien O Tuama's excellent analysis of why cyclists tend not to use the Stillorgan Road cycle track (January 6th), I am nursing a strained ligament, torn cartilage, bruised tendon and pulled calf muscle sustained while braking to avoid an illegal user on the slimy surface of the chicane of the Rise.
In 20 years of cycling on the road I have never had an accident. In two on the cycle track I have had several. Dun Laoghaire/ Rathdown Council please note. - Yours, etc., Paul Kilcullen,
Laurleen, Stillorgan, Co Dublin.
