Cyclists "horrified" by Duncan Smith Telegraph column
Cyclists"horrified" by Iain Duncan Smith's Telegraph column suggesting"dangerous cyclists should be driven off our roads", as Conservative MP accused of ignoring main road safety issues in latest call for stricter legislation
Sadly, there are some who persist in claiming absurdly that if such restrictions were put in place, cyclists would stop riding bikes, which apparently trumps road safety. Riding safely within the law isn't a threat to cycling, it is only a threat to those determined to ride unsafely." He also this weekend cited the case of a two-year-old child in Wales who was left needing stitches after a collision with a woman riding an e-bike on a footpath. Police said the legal 250w bike had not been modified to exceed the 15.5mph limit at which point the motor must cut out, and officers decided not to pursue a criminal case against the 65-year-old woman riding.
One reply to Duncan Smith's piece asked him to"now do motorists", while another asked why"if he is so serious about road safety" he is less vocal in support for"separate walking and cycling infrastructure in all our towns and cities?"
