Apparently bike racks are being successfully opposed because they
attract noise and crime and cut down on car parking space.


The article also demonstrates how Boris is just bluster and wind.
He has no power at all in this matter - just "disappointed".


How can he do anything more?

The Mayor (no matter who the Mayor is) is not the planning authority and
local councils (sometimes representing the wishes of local residents)
have that power.

Are you saying that the Mayor should have every last ounce of local
government power in London, right down to the last paving stone, and
that the boroughs should have none?


It would help if he'd been honest from the start rather than declare he
was going to have all these wonderful bike hire places everywhere.
