To the Editor:

I am writing in response to the letter titled “Share the Road” (9/25). We are cyclists. We are grandparents, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. We are homeowners, residents and visitors. We are part of the economic ecosystem of this wonderful place we call Long Beach Island.

Please don’t lump every cyclist into the same group. There certainly are some bad apples. There are also some very good ones, and many of us who respect the rules of the road and are extremely defensive and careful.
