Good stuff. As Boris unveils more and more pro-cycling measures like this, the "closet" car-haters, led by Spindrift, are going to find it harder and harder to pretend that their dislike of Boris (and their love affair with Livingstone) is down to anything but a simple, spiteful, demented hatred of motorists (which they're so ashamed of that they don't even admit to it).

I'm really glad a mayor's come in who is pro-cycling *and* pro- motoring relative to Livingstone, as he has exposed the pathetic lying car-haters for what they really are more effectively than any other politician so far. In a few years, when Boris has implemented countless measures which make things better for cyclists and yet Spindrift is *still* finding any excuse he possibly can to complain about him, even the most gullible and naive of people will see that Spindrift's agenda is everything to do with a hardline dislike of motorists, and *nothing* to do with "cycling advocacy", "cyclist safety" or any of the other causes which he so desperately tries to hide behind.
