Cyclists are destroying London

In North Korea and Kazakhstan, loyal subjects build ludicrous follies to
celebrate their leaders. We’re doing the same. London has been turned
into a gridlocked building site as roads are dug up and rebuilt to
create Boris’s follies, a network of cycling superhighways. These
segregated routes that run north-south and east-west are part of the
outgoing Mayor’s “cycling revolution”.

Walking in London, is now a vile activity as the level of pollution from
traffic fumes has soared. Soon, pedestrians will be following their
counterparts in Tokyo, wearing anti-smog masks. Building cycle lanes has
not deterred car use. It means that traffic has to fit into a much
smaller space and so it is reduced to a crawl.

Why should cyclists get preferential treatment over pedestrians? What
about the young, the elderly and the disabled who may not want or be
able to cycle and who cannot use public transport? By championing bikes
to such a ludicrous level, as his “legacy” project, Boris is as
blinkered as the car lobby and lorry drivers.

None of which are used on the roads.

So you're a cyclist then.
Mr Pounder thinks you are scum. Here's but a few
of his quotes:

"ALL cyclists are psycholists and
scum"

"Stupid is riding a bicycle"

"I've always said that cyclists are soft little ****s"

"Nobody really gives a flying **** about cyclists"

Mr Pounder has anger management issues.

I am not actually concerned.
My agenda is that cyclists improve their act, not go out of existence.

What 'act' do cyclists need to improve?

So you are saying cyclists should start ignoring red traffic lights rather than obeying them?
Maybe cyclists should ride on the footway rather than the carriageway as they currently do.

Can't wait, I enjoy my job and it pays well

Little ****** that you are.

Doesn't that make you a big ******?

Nope, it makes you a little desk ****** who has probably never gotten dirty
finger nails in the whole of your working life.
Very cyclist.
