To the Editor:

A couple of weeks ago I wrote to The SandPaper to describe a situation I encountered during a bicycle race on the Boulevard on a Sunday morning. I also mentioned the total lack of consideration high-speed bicyclists had for other people using Beach Avenue on any given weekend.

A week or two later a person from Point Pleasant responded to my letter and went into a long dissertation about why I was wrong and what a terrific job the Island authorities had done to provide for the cycling event.
