Dear editor,
A few weeks ago I was pushing my walker on the sidewalk near the theatre when two eight-or nine-year-old boys went speeding by me, on their bicycles, I just saw their backs.
They were so close to me, couldn’t believe it. I was left shaking inside for hours.
I am an elderly woman of 88 years old. I understand bicycles, are allowed on sidewalks with rules – there wasn’t any being used.
I can’t believe why bicycles are allowed to ride on streets. Someone is going to be hurt badly. I believe it is wrong!
I don’t like to complain – I have worked amongst young people for 15 years, enjoy them, but this incident could have been serious.
I feel this issue, should be brought to the attention of the town council, and not be taken lightly.
Thank you.
Most sincerely,
Eileen Gilbert
