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.

Perhaps what he said was more to the effect that he was hoping to have them
everywhere, but as usual, the press and public took it as a statement of
intent and so stirred up unwarranted resistance. Why do they do that?


Nope, Boris entered the fray declaring that he would turn water in to
wine and parsley in to the best quality skunk.
As for the walking on water trick - he's up to his waist already.

Declaring that he has got the Met under his political thumb should be a
clue as to his desires for power.
And he still doesn't have a clue what London is - he knows where it is
but that's about it. It's all still all the wiff-waff about the
Olympics, his big chance to appear to be a world power, someone important.
