When I started bickering about this on this thread my trigger was a few people saying "they can't ban cycling", "they won't ban cycling" and "it doesn't matter if I cycle, it won't harm anybody".
The first two are outright incorrect and the third is mostly true, apart from the fact that these situations arise from perception and not from actual risk/impact. My point has (almost) consistently been that it doesn't matter if it makes no sense, it doesn't mean it won't happen. See France justifying their recreational cycling ban on the potential impact to health services if you fall off, which surely is just an excuse.
Yeah this kind of thing I can definitely agree with. No need for bike jousting after all :P
