Comment on Cyclist injuries dropped by half after “hated” cycle lane installed, but mayor still claims scrapped lane largely used as “bike run” for drug dealers to “get through traffic"

  Um, this is almost definitely the primary reason:

  Local business owners welcome decision to rip out “absolute disaster” cycle lane which led to “lots of customers” getting parking tickets

  Heaven forbid you be unable to park on the pavement!

    I mean, there are loads of other solutions to a lack of parking ffs. Look at all that green field, I wonder how many parking spaces they need. A car park would spoil their view would it? if that’s the issue, they could block their view of the car park by parking cars along the roadside in front of it. Oh no wait, they’d get a ticket for that.

    But no no no, lets just jump at the opportunity to hate on cyclists because that’s the fun popular thing to do amongst meatheads, pick a group that’s already getting picked on and pick on them harder. Sounds like we have our own Alabama.
