Peter Montebello's letter regarding the dangers of cycling makes one wonder, does he have a problem with those motorised bikes, or with cyclists in general and the ADT?

On the whole, cyclists that I know are car drivers and know how to respect the rules of the road.

Kids on motorised bicycles tend to be all over the place because no road discipline has been instilled.

Now with regard to the ADT, that is another question! It seems another case of let's bury our head in the sand, hope for the best and unless no one important gets hurt while driving a motorised bicycle, they will be allowed to rule the streets without regulation helmets and give a bad name to proper cyclists who promote sport, health and, as in the case of many including my brother Mark, causes that include the Puttino challenge and various charities.
