Reg Moores (Letters, October 22) asks for parking attendants to control cyclists on pavements after a cyclist ran into him and injured his back.

What does he really expect the attendants to do - run after them?

There is only one way: Cyclists should have number plates, just like any other wheeled traffic. This alone would have a salutary effect straight away once they realised they could be identified.
