I FELT compelled to write my first letter to The Argus after reading the article on poor cyclist Stephen Prince and his ongoing problem with punctures (The Argus, April 21).

I fully sympathise with him as my puncture record is seven in one week, sometimes two in one day.

So don’t get despondent Stephen, just keep on cycling. I haven’t had a puncture since February 10 so I must be due one soon.
