I WISH Mike Usherwood and my husband would stop their stupid male posturing on transport issues.

All it takes is mutual respect and everyone can safely use the roads.

Mr Usherwood's recent letter (October 14) about there being at least 11 law-abiding cyclists with the police officers on bikes. There will be 16 law-abiding cyclists. You need to add in the four paramedics and me.
