TO the cyclist that I saw run the red light in New Road and was nearly hit by a bus coming down Above Bar Street in the city centre at around 7am on May 1 this year.

I was the older cyclist who waited patiently at the lights behind you. I was also the victim of the abuse of a motorist who passed me several feet on from the junction after the lights changed green.

This motorist mistook me for you and shouted out of his passenger window whilst driving very close. I hope you’re pleased with the trouble you caused me!
