There seems to have been a concerted letter-writing campaign against the proposal to create a cycle route across Walmgate Stray.
Will the proposal bring hordes of cyclists sweeping along like Bodecian chariots, knocking aside all in their wake? Or will the present situation on Micklegate Stray be mirrored?
Here the link route to the York-Selby railway path skirts the racecourse, and links to the rear of Bishopthorpe Road's Law College. Commuter and leisure cyclists have safely shared this route for some years, in tranquil and fume-free surroundings. Why should this not be the experience elsewhere?
