Whilst still astounded that Matthew Parris's 'decapitate cyclists' article was ever allowed past THE TIMES editorial check system. And with the outstanding performance of the GB cycle racing team both on the track and before the TV cameras fresh in mind, I have sent the following.
It'll be interesting to see how the THE TIMES editorial system copes on this occasion
Letters Editor,
THE TIMES
Madam/Sir
Can someone please explain to me why some of us applaud the grace, talent and sheer guts of our world beating cyclists when viewed through a television screen, but despise, ridicule and hunt other cyclists when they display the same qualities through a windscreen?
