  • i see what you're saying but i think it's important to be accurate with our language

    you won't be allowed to leave your neighbourhood

    This isn't happening, no matter how you stretch.

    your movements will be tracked

    This is already happening through ANPR cameras at 99% of forecourts, through speed cameras, though general surveillance, through your mobile phone and through your debit card spending. But I'm sure all these protestors were equally as outraged about those things...right?

    Car use has been conditional since forever. We require people to be tested, licensed, insured, and taxed before they can drive. We impose those conditions because it benefits society to do so. This is no different from that.

    I bet many of the objectors with their accusations of ultra surveillance want cyclist to have registration numbers, pay road tax, and have insurance

  • yes, the venn diagram of those who want cyclists to be more traceable and don't want themselves (as drivers) to be traceable is a perfect circle
