He has a form for bike hating.

Previously he has claimed bike lanes increased pollution, no evidence to
support it just his personal feeling.

Obviously London pollution has nothing to do with the selfish bigot
driving a Bentley.

Training, a licence and insurance does not compute for cyclists.
Most of the cycling filth are unemployed and live in council flats.

Why are London cyclists so white, male and middle-class?

Did you actually read that story before you posted the link?
As the study points out, such accounts show that cycling “signifies a
specifically bourgeois sensibility” that simply doesn’t resonate with many
black and Asian Londoners. A Muslim woman called Jasmine said that riding a
bicycle would, for her, be “socially unacceptable”. A group of Asian women
thought the idea that they might cycle “ridiculous” almost by definition. A
young, black professional, Leanne, indicated that for her, unlike white
peers, being “a cyclist” would not signal high social status: “When you’ve
made it, you buy a car, not a bicycle.” Another, Marvin, said he’d only
consider cycling if he became “really poor”. He added that among black
communities, cycling was seen as a fun or even deviant youth activity,
rather than something for successful adults.

For several female participants in the study, being a cyclist – or choosing
not to be one – was very much entangled with concerns and convictions about
femininity, appearance and their inclusion in a highly visible minority
transport culture – a sort of club. One, Rachel, new to cycling, described
uncertainties about what to wear: “I swing between, should I go all in Lycra
or should I go for a more girlie look.” Others recognized the dilemma but
felt they handled it quite comfortably, and some fully embraced the cyclist
look: “I’ve got the kit, I’m a cyclist, yeah.” There was also outright
rejection: “The women that do cycle are probably more blokey than feminine.”

I think it is a good idea to require motorists to pass an annual cycling test to maintain their driving privileges.
Maybe one day they will actually pay for their road space. £5000/mile should come close.

So some bicycling filth are employed and don't live in council flats?
Oh that is a relief.
