Sir, – Eoghan O'Loingsigh (Letters, August 8th) has reservations about sharing narrow country roads with cyclists. As a mainly urban cyclist, I have similar reservations. Galway's narrow streets are often filled with lines of single drivers, many making social or leisure trips, taking up the full width of the lane and surrounded by three or four empty seats. They rarely pull over to allow me to pass, forcing me to come to a halt or to try and squeeze past them, often delaying me in my important business. It seems that "sharing the road" is in the eye of the beholder.– Yours, etc,
DAVE MATHIESON,
Salthill,
Galway.
