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”
One of Britain’s most controversial cycle lanes is set to be removed at the end of August, though other road safety features, including a 20mph speed limit, road narrowing measures, and no-entry side streets, will remain

Briefly setting aside the logical absurdity of separated bike lanes somehow only being beneficial to drug dealers and children and not anyone else, I find it farcical that the property on the right-side of the headline photo simultaneously has: 1) a message reading "no cycle lane", and 2) an advertisement that the property is available for rent.
Hmm, I wonder if maybe the property market would improve if more people could conveniently get to this location. If only there was something the local council could do which would promote an affordable, non-polluting, flexible, and high-volume means of transportation that strengthens the community and makes people more likely to visit and spend time on this street.
Nope, can't think of a solution, no sir.
We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!
Bicycles are only used by the smelly POOR people, and POOR people don't buy stuff! No to the bike lane! The solution is more highways, more parking, more cars for the RICH people!
...hey hey wait why are you car drivers driving to the massive shopping centers, you were supposed to stop by my tiny shop with nothing interesting around it! I have PARKING! Come back! Buy my shit! Help!
As a society we should start taking the right wing messaging further to hurt the people initially spreading the messaging.
In this example, looking at that picture:
"People should boycott the business because they don't provide parking! Those assholes don't need my business!"
