Bloody hell, that's a Boltar post that I completely, 100% agree with.
Must be the end times...


I chafed a bit at 'idiot cyclists', but if you read that as saying that
cyclists who complain about bendies are idiots, rather than that all
cyclists are idiots and complain about bendies, then it's spot on.


I read it as being 'zealot cyclists who think the road should be
rearranged for their benefit', which Boris definitely is, leavened by
old-fashioned Tory car-worship*.

Tom (not a cyclist, just a bloke who owns a bike and occasionally
chooses it when it's the best option).

* Like thinking that the car was the single biggest contributor to
women's liberation in the 20th century, a view he's expressed in my hearing.
