Is anybody else's Troll-o-Meter twitching, or is it just me?

Mine is.

Please do not feed the trolls!

What is institutionalised about cyclists, praydotell? The CTC, whose
members generally do not break the law, maybe...

No trolling, just a failure to anticipate "demand" for comment and
therefore to be available to participate in my own thread...

The "institutionalised" was referring to a number of issues:

1. The law breaking of the police
2. The acceptance into mainstream business of law breaking as a
competitive advantage
3. The failure of all institutions (including nebulous ones such as
the general population) to deal with the problem.

Hope that clarifies things - I was, and am, serious about the issues
proposed in the original post.

Best wishes
