PR Willey points out, correctly, that Thursday late night shopping in York isn't a raving success (May 12).

I should like to point out that having banned bikes from the city centre and sent the same bland letter to all of us who complained, the least City of York Council could do is enforce the ban so that those like myself foolish enough to dismount don't suffer the annoyance of seeing others merrily cycling along, in some cases heading the wrong way along one-way streets?
