There's been a lot of pro and anti-motorist and pro and anti-cyclist sentiment in the letters pages recently.

I wonder how many writers are, in fact, cyclists when they're not motorists and motorists when they're not cyclists. I know I am.

Assuming most people also are, polarising the argument between cyclists and motorists is unhelpful.

There are as many rogue drivers as there are rogue cyclists. The problem is people behaving like road rogues, regardless of whether they are a cyclist, motorist or pedestrian - yes, pedestrians can be road rogues too, wandering into the road, expecting the traffic to stop.

Next time you're driving and are annoyed by a cyclist, consider whether you are also ever a cyclist and whether you are a blameless motorist.

The same goes for cyclists - if you get cut up, ask yourself if you ever do the same when you are driving and if you are a blameless cyclist.

Pedestrians, too - if you are annoyed by a cyclist or motorist, ask yourself why you are being so self-indulgent as to let them annoy you.

Brighton and Hove is already a right-on place. But a bit more peace and love and we might just all get along.
