Mike Ward's Opinion piece was controversial, shocking and obnoxious enough to stimulate a response.

But I hope The Argus, once so differently represented by Adam Trimmingham, regret publishing this dangerously generalised anti-cyclist rant.

Statements such as "hate... loathe and despise" would probably land The Argus in court if aimed at other minorities.

As it is, they simply fuel the lack of empathy from some motorists - which might well increase its sometime tragic results.
