Sir, – Gearoid Kilgallen (July 9th) makes an important point – there are many dangerous cyclists on our roads (and footpaths). However there are equally negligent car, bus, motorbike and taxi drivers, pedestrians and skateboarders as well. Rather than criticising one particular group, we need to recognise that there is a collective responsibility to use our roads and footpaths safely. When unavoidable and tragic accidents happen, the mode of transport doesn’t matter. – Yours, etc,
