Letter I wish I wrote to Globe & Mail...

[Tuesday's Globe and Mail back-page article was from a man who defended riding his bicycle on the sidewalk, running red lights, and taking one-way streets the wrong way. Because he thinks it's safer that way.]

By all means, A. H. should push for more bicycle lanes, for improved public transit and for increased traffic-law enforcement. But the fact that cars are dangerous to cyclists does not mean that cyclists are not dangerous to pedestrians. Mr. H. doesn't have a leg to stand on, and it appears that he doesn't much care whether I do, either. N. L, Toronto

Darn right.
