Like your lady correspondent (Opinion, February 28), I am in my 70s and ride a bike.
Unlike her, however, I frequently ride on the pavement in urban areas (carefully and with due deference to the priority of the few people who still walk).
Traffic density and speed make most urban roads a death-trap for cyclists.
The choice is simple: Perhaps being killed, maimed or injured on the road or maybe paying a £30 fine on the pavement. Which would you choose?
