Previously he has claimed bike lanes increased pollution, no evidence to support it just his personal feeling. Obviously London pollution has nothing to do with the selfish bigot driving a Bentley. |

Most of the cycling filth are unemployed and live in council flats. |

Most of the cycling filth are unemployed and live in council flats. Why are London cyclists so white, male and middle-class? https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...d-middle-class Did you actually read that story before you posted the link? As the study points out, such accounts show that cycling “signifies a specifically bourgeois sensibility” that simply doesn’t resonate with many black and Asian Londoners. A Muslim woman called Jasmine said that riding a bicycle would, for her, be “socially unacceptable”. A group of Asian women thought the idea that they might cycle “ridiculous” almost by definition. A young, black professional, Leanne, indicated that for her, unlike white peers, being “a cyclist” would not signal high social status: “When you’ve made it, you buy a car, not a bicycle.” Another, Marvin, said he’d only consider cycling if he became “really poor”. He added that among black communities, cycling was seen as a fun or even deviant youth activity, rather than something for successful adults. For several female participants in the study, being a cyclist – or choosing not to be one – was very much entangled with concerns and convictions about femininity, appearance and their inclusion in a highly visible minority transport culture – a sort of club. One, Rachel, new to cycling, described uncertainties about what to wear: “I swing between, should I go all in Lycra or should I go for a more girlie look.” Others recognized the dilemma but felt they handled it quite comfortably, and some fully embraced the cyclist look: “I’ve got the kit, I’m a cyclist, yeah.” There was also outright rejection: “The women that do cycle are probably more blokey than feminine.” |

Most of the cycling filth are unemployed and live in council flats. I think it is a good idea to require motorists to pass an annual cycling test to maintain their driving privileges. Maybe one day they will actually pay for their road space. £5000/mile should come close. |
