This is another one of those issues which exposes the car-haters who pretend to be pro-cyclist. Real cycling advocates will support such a measure; closet car-haters will oppose it. Case closed.

Quite why the car-haters continue with their "I don't hate cars, I'm pro-cyclist" deceit when things like this make it so glaringly obvious is anyone's guess. In Chapman's case, it's no doubt because he tends to think that everyone else is extremely thick. In Spindrift's case, it's because he's mental. As for the others, it could be either of those, or something else entirely. Either way, they may just finally realise one day that no-one's falling for it. You never know.
