Obey the rules of the road

Sir: I found Maria Logan’s letter in The Chatham Voice Jan 10, “Simple solution for bike paths,” interesting, and I was extremely interested in Eric and Anne Hoffman’s letter Jan. 17 about turning a sidewalk into a bike path. It made me scratch the old noggin and do some thinking.

I would like to express my opinion about bike paths which are painted on the side of many roads in Chatham.

I regard them as being extremely dangerous when they suddenly stop, leaving the cyclist nowhere to go except perhaps on the sidewalk.

I was an ardent cyclist half a century ago but in those days vehicular traffic was not as busy and there were no bike lanes.

I believe that if cyclists would always obey the rules of the road and motorists also respected cyclists, they would all be a lot safer.
