Thank you for your response to the petition. Your derogatory remarks about cyclists could equally apply to car drivers, and make no sense at all to me. By the same logic we should perhaps hold off all road improvements because some people drive while drunk, or throw litter out of cars, or break the speed limit. Whilst cars continue to pollute so hugely there will be opposition to their dominance. The cycle path will not only be used by Long Ashton residents, and many people who've signed this petition make it clear they regularly use this route to or from Bristol, Nailsea and beyond. Surely these users should have a say about the need for a cycle path. I take offence at you calling people engaged in peaceful democratic process 'sheeplike' simply because they agree on something. As I understand it you are in post to serve all the people of North Somerset, and I would expect more respect for your constituents. And of course it will be a 'cycling lobby' that will call for a cycling path
