OP-ED: A Message By Any Means

Our Town received the following handwritten letter:

Bicycle delivery boys ignore traffic rules, ride on sidewalks, speed through red lights, wrong direction, etc.

That's only 95 percent of them! To a pedestrian, it's frightening, more so after dark. For an older person, being run into is life threatening.

Politicians, TV and radio and newspapers - with the exception of writer Bette Dewing in Our Town (bless her!) NEVER mention this problem. Why? Joe, Upper East Side
