AS a cyclist, I do object to being lumped together with buskers and beggars as being "anti-social" (The Quality Street Crusade, Evening News, Thursday, May 17).
In the same article, Councillor Robert Rowden is quoted as saying: "If I drove my car down a pedestrian-only street, people wouldn't like it. So why should cyclists think they can?"
If Coun Rowden tried this he would find he could drive his car along the pedestrianised areas of Broad Street, Angel Place or the Shambles without anyone batting an eyelid.
Do it on his bike though and he'd be scowled at from all directions. Surely he's not suggesting that a bicycle presents the same danger to the public as a car?
