Did I mention you in particular? No. But there are undoubtedly plenty of people here who do agree with that quote, and not one of them has come forward. Pretty poor show, but if I'm being honest, I'm not surprised. They're ashamed of being anti-motorist and they know they can't defend such a stance. Now if they'd just follow through logically then they'd realise that they should stop being anti- motorist, stop supporting anti-motorist measures (e.g. speed cameras) automatically, and concentrate on making things better for cyclists in a positive way.
