Cyclists ride by the rules!

Cyclists are welcome if they ride by the rules
SMH Letters to Editor March 19 2010
I agree with Grant Fraser (Letters, March 17), with the following amendments.

A bike is a legitimate vehicle and has every right to be on the road. With that right comes the legal obligation to observe all rules of the road, such as wearing a helmet, not riding on footpaths or across pedestrian crossings, giving way as appropriate and not running red lights.

The rules for cyclists are perfectly well defined, but poorly observed and even more poorly enforced. Motorists and cyclists have every right to be on the road and it is up to each to accommodate the other.
