Molly's Persuasive Argument!!!

Dear Mr. Atherton,
I am strongly against all bicycles being ridden on the road.

First of all, if a cyclist is on the road it can put a driver off and they can lose control of the car. They will distract them and the drivers putting the people in the car at risk.

Secondly, if the lights go red and a cyclist is already half-way through the road the will not have enough power and energy to push themselves across the road before the other lane of drivers have right to start driving and why should cars have to wait for a cyclist to pass?
Thirdly, Cyclists without any lights on the bike or fluoro gear on have more of a chance of being hit by a car or truck at night when it is dark so instead of stopping he will crash into the cyclist and knock him off his bicycle.


I hope you take time to think about my disagreement and consider making a lane for cyclists only for safety reasons,
Yours sincerely,

Molly Ryan McGinness O.L.A
