I REFER to the item Go ahead and break the law' (Echo, May 7) about cyclists being told they can ignore the no cycling' signs on Weymouth seafront.

Is the council really able to tell cyclists that the police force will turn a blind eye if they break the present law?

They say it's only a technically an illegal activity so are they going to look the other way?

Cyclist Ken Reed, is quite right to be uncomfortable with the council's reassurances that he can break the law, and I must admire him for his concern, His arguments are sound and sensible.

However, we have Coun Christine Jones, the council's transports spokeswoman, blaming central government. But that does not give her or the council the right to break the law.

But there are a lot of yobs that will take advantage of this offer to break the law.

So, you get hit by a bike on the Esplanade, who do you sue? Is it the biker breaking the law or the borough council chiefs?

Why not be sensible you councillors and wait a little time longer, instead of letting your heart rule your heads, or is that too much to ask?

Jack Wilson, Chartwell, Weymouth.
