IT IS with great disappointment that my first public act as the newly appointed City of York Cycling Champion is to condemn those who intend to participate in the Naked Cycle Ride on June 7.
One of my key objectives for my champion year is to encourage the police to prosecute those cyclists who give us a bad name by cycling illegally on pavements, ride at night without lights and who ignore traffic lights.
What message on respect for the law and other people does riding naked through our city send out? Can they not understand double standards?
Coun Joe Watt, CYC Cycling Champion, Skelton, York.
