we all know everyone hates cyclists
I know you jest, but it's still important to clear this up for people who just don't understand irony.
Of course people don't 'hate' cyclists. Many are stressed because of the huge part personal transport has to play in their lives because they can't access jobs, education, or leisure facilities anywhere close to their homes, and there's a general myth going round that if you cycle, you must be smug and privileged.
Whatever antipathy there is has very little to do with cycling and much more with social factors, plus the stress that many people experience either driving or riding, and the occasional moment of badly-resolved conflict.
Carry on, as you were.

A candle in the wind.
On our own we don't stand a chance, we all know everyone hates cyclists.
But if this law starts affecting SportBall ( our national obsession, like the royal apparently) sites then there could be big trouble. The PM is a SportBall fan and practitioner, the media can't get enough of it, big corps thrown money at it, etc,etc.
So, if these normal people rise up, like they did with that EuroLeague thing then the world turns, exceptions are made and on we go, I hope.
Is that a straw I see?
