The Mayoral candidate (Goldsmith) told LBC's Nick Ferrari that if the
new cycle infrastructure is judged to be not working then he would see
it removed. What a sensible candidate.

Cool. Cheerful is actively try to get Sidiq more votes.

I presume there is something more important that you like about Sidiq or
dislike about Goldsmith that is outweighing your normal aversion to
cyclists.

She can promise to spend £Bn2000 and install overhead cycle ways
without making a bit of difference as she has zero chance of getting
elected.

I expect that more voters will hope for removal of cycle lanes than for
the alternative.

It is very sad when the top two possibilities for London Mayor are a Yid
and a Paki.

They have won, we did not even fight back.

The chances of more than a Norfolk handful of London cyclists that can
vote reading my post are so low that it will really make no difference.
The candidates have probably already bought all the votes that matter.

But in this group. I imagine you have encouraged me, at least, to vote
for Sidiq.

If you were posting in a cab driver group it may be otherwise.
