Letter: Not anti-car but pro-cycle
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.I DON'T wholly agree with Liz Moloney that the Independent on Sunday should campaign against private cars (Letters, 13 March). I applaud the critical stance it takes against the road lobby but believe this should be extended to a positive stance towards alternative transport. It would be unrealistic for the paper to refuse advertisements from car manufacturers, but the substitution of the motoring section in the Sunday Review with a cycling section would, in my opinion, be praiseworthy.
