Sir, – To the lady driving the Mercedes four-wheel drive who waved apologetically after almost hitting me yesterday evening near St Stephen’s Green in Dublin, please do not think of me as “a cyclist” you almost killed. Think of me instead as a father who just wants to get home safely to his wife and two young kids after a day at the office. All this recent talk of red-light jumpers and smug cyclists doesn’t really help anyone. – Yours, etc,
DARA CARROLL,
Ballybrack,
Co Dublin.
