Sweeping generalisations usually say more about the people making them than their subjects, as Paul-John Harris showed in his blanket attack on motorcyclists (Argus, March 31).
He labels all bikers as bad because a few have annoyed him. Would he be happy for me to brand him and all other car drivers as bad because of the actions of a few I have seen?
My main mode of transport is a motorbike and I spend a lot of time riding on Sussex roads.
Yes, Mr Harris, I too see some terrible motorcyclists but I see an even higher proportion of terrible car drivers - reckless, dozy, irresponsible or simply incompetent.
I don't draw any conclusions from that about your driving or your right to use the road.
