EDWARD Shirley is quite correct in saying that "most sensible cyclists will use cycle lanes" (Evening News, Tuesday, January 20).
Here in Pershore, at considerable expense, a cycle lane and wider pavement has been provided by narrowing the busy Station Road carriageway, and road signs put up indicating that cyclists should not be on the road.
The majority observes the restriction, but an obstinate few insist on using the roadway causing heavy vehicles in particular serious delay. This is a good, well-surfaced cycle lane and very rarely is a vehicle to be found blocking it.
Overtaking cyclists with a car is no real problem, but since the ill-famed Wyre Piddle bypass, a lot of heavy lorries have been re-routed into Station Road and for them it is not so easy.
