Absolutely typical of car-haters. They are quite happy to do things which they know will quite possibly kill people, just to make things harder for drivers. Compared to that, a few punctured bicycle tyres are nothing.

Car-haters are rather like Muslim terrorists. Their beliefs are nonsensical, they won't tolerate their opponents expressing their points of view, and they think nothing of endangering people's lives in order to hysterically make their "point". Oh, and they're utter fuckwits.
