The changes they've made w.r.t. cars has been positive though (closing Robin Hood Gate years ago, stopping them going between Robin Hood gate and Kingston gate, etc).
I'm guessing it's a "slowly slowly" approach until any through traffic by cars is banned, which will change the park a lot (for the better). Although I'm guessing they will be more contention between cyclists and pedestrians then.
(I've no real problem with cars have access to the car parks within the park. I'd just like to see all through traffic banned.)
Once the through traffic is banned they might make the anti-cyclist stuff less obtrusive.
Fast lappers can still lap fast, it's just two choke points they've introduced, albeit in a very shit way. Those two points constitute ~0.5% of my usual time cycling around the park so I've still got emptier nice roads for 99.5% of the time.
