Sir – With the promise of more icy weather to come, Cyclox is calling on the county council to grit cycle tracks and pavements, prioritising those used by schoolchildren or where there is no road alternative.

At the Green Fair in Oxford we collected over 100 signatures on a petition for this, and would encourage all local cyclists to support it. There will be petition forms at most bike shops, and you can sign online at http://www.gopetition.com/petition/41424.html, or call Oxfordshire Highways on 0845 310 11 11, or email them at highwayenquiries@oxfordshire.gov.uk.
