Typical anti-car, money-making scam, especially since cyclists won't use the lane. Even disabled bays are being removed; time and time again, the car-haters show how truly callous they are by showing no mercy even to disabled drivers who have no option but to drive.

Let's face it, *no-one* who wants this lane wants it for the right reasons (i.e. to improve things for cyclists). What a disgrace. Oxford is one of the most anti-car authorities of the lot.

No doubt Simon Mason supports the lane, not because it will help cyclists, but because it will "deter" driving.
