Tell you what.
Let's put everyone off cycling. Sneer at them until they sell their bikes for scrap. Give the roads back to cars. Then there'll be no nodders and you can dice with the traffic safe in the knowledge that nobody in fluorescent gear on a shitty hybrid is going to have the temerity to stop in front of you at the traffic lights.
Or, alternatively, you could accept that the rise in acceptability of cycling is going to mean a lot more less-experienced cyclists on the road, remember that once upon a time you too probably had a shitty hybrid or conversion that you were desperately proud of at the time and woefully inept at maintaining, and be happy that some other souls have decided to take it upon themselves to at least try this cycling lark - because now that there's a critical mass, the politicians are beginning to give a shit about our safety on the roads, however falteringly.
And bikes are supposed to be fun, m'kay?
