Yet another spiteful attempt to bully motorists out of their cars which has single-handedly failed, and only resulted in things being made worse not just for motorists, but for everyone. Only the most incredibly vicious car-haters would support a policy such as limiting residential car park spaces. No-one who was genuinely pro-cycling or pro-safety would support it as it quite clearly makes things more dangerous for cyclists by adding unnecessarily to the clutter on the roads.

Of course, there are other policies which make things worse for motorists, and also for cyclists, and the car-haters pretending to be "cycling advocates" identify their real agenda quite obviously by supporting such measures. (Not that there are any anti-motorist measures in the UK. Definitely not.)
