Dear Sir/Madam,

OFF YOUR BIKES

I deplore calls for Heavy Goods Vehicles to be banned from Central London during the day because of the percentage of these vehicles involved in the death of cyclists. Such a ban would do immeasurable harm to the economy of the Capital and would cost us all dear.

As 100% of these fatal incidents involved pedal cycles, surely it would be more to the point to ban these dangerous contraptions during the rush hour? Or, better still, permanently.
After all, if it saves one child...
