I AM writing to thank the lady who so generously gave of her time to check I was alright when I hit black ice and came off my bike on the cycle path in Field Barn Drive last Friday, January 15 morning.

Thanks also to those fellow cyclists who warned me of other icy patches to avoid.

Amid all the unpleasantness, there are plenty of decent, kind people in this world.

This was just one example. Thank you.
