Healthy and fun

CYCLING is a healthy and environmentally-friendly activity and I have been a cyclist for more than 60 years – ever since my Uncle Stan patiently taught me, in the safety of Lancing Recreation Ground.

So I am disappointed to see how many people are opposed to cycling on Littlehampton Promenade. Claire Laurie (Gazette Letters, March 17) comes up with a good compromise about restricting cycling when daytrippers are about.

I would like to add that all cyclists using the Promenade should be required to have a bicycle bell fitted – and use it.
