In response to a recent letter regarding the monitoring of speed along cycle paths, surely instead of issuing a speed limit of 10mph, a simpler solution would be similar to that used on the continent – in particular Holland – where cyclists have to slow down for pedestrians (including dogs).

If an accident happens it is purely the fault of the cyclist and, if possible, they would face a hefty fine. There currently appears to be no etiquette with regard to cycling.

I am a keen horse rider and wouldn’t dream of even trotting past a pedestrian. When children and loose dogs are on the path we simply halt the horse until all have safely passed. It is unfortunate this cannot be applied to some of the cyclists.
