Letter: How cyclists can help to fill in the potholes
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: My 49cc scooter is classified on my provisional driving licence as a 'bicycle'. If this is the case, then other bicycles (of whatever sort) can be treated in a similar way by DVLC (Letters; 'Protection from lawless cyclists', 5 April).
My annual fee is modest, and a reminder is sent which, I assume, does not leave the DVLC out of pocket.
Serious road-users would not, surely, balk at such a fee (as long as it was used to fill up the multitude of holes on the roads that the pavement cyclists are obviously trying to avoid).
Yours faithfully,
