Sir, - What a pleasure it is to cycle along the recently marked cycle track in Ranelagh. Finally a real space to cycle in during rush hour traffic - until one comes upon a motorist parked there, obviously seeing it as a handy spot to pull in and chat with a friend on the footpath.
Pointing out that he was blocking the way for cyclists brought laughter, followed by verbal abuse. Motorists, please, a little respect for cyclists. - Yours, etc.,
Lucy Sutton, East Wall, Dublin 3.
