Cognitive Dissonance...
One of the more amusing aspects of the ideological war on cycling in
Britain, is the double standards operated by the apologists for the automobile and petrochemical industries. For example.. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/mayor/sadiq-khan-calls-on-all-boroughs-to-make-world-car-free-day-a-huge-success-in-london-a3891626.html So, let's trot out the claims that cycling 'causes pollution' - a claim repeated thousands of times in comments streams on hundreds of articles in the UK press. Not a shred of evidence that cyclists 'cause pollution', but that's of little or no importance. Now let's look at the scientific evidence that the internal combustion engine is responsible for over 10,000 premature deaths in the UK every year. 'No credible evidence!' scream the retards. Hilarious. -- john smith |MA (Hons)|MPhil (Hons)|CAPES (mention très bien)|LLB (Hons) 'It never gets any easier. You just get faster' (Greg LeMond (1961 - )) |
