OH dear! Yet again another letter from a misguided person (Colin Smith, August 20).
Cyclists do pay as much for roads as anyone else.
There is no such road tax. It’s vehicle excise duty and is paid into central funds. If anything, cyclists are hard done by. There are many miles of roads that are closed to them.
However, I do agree that the money would be better spent on improving the potholes which are normally at the edge of the road, the very bit of the road a cyclist uses. Repainting the cycle lanes so motorists can clearly see them again would be a big help.
