Strollers were amazed on Sunday when they had to endure the horrific noise made by two very large motorbikes racing down George Street in Hove, which is a totally flat road.

In the past, I have enjoyed sitting on a motorbike, touring Devon on holiday and have been driven up Porlock Hill (which, to the uninitiated, is purported to be the steepest hill in England). So here is my suggestion to bikers: Go to Brands Hatch/Oulton Park for the safest racing; it is much faster to ride on as there is more room and it will be safer for us and for you.
