I can’t wait to see how this strategy backfires.
Rural roads too?? The cranks in UK will not be able to pull this off. The eco-cranks, the climate cranks, the neo-nitwit marxists and the trans whatevers
It's a "war" in which the only casualties are the people on two wheels.

Wow. The stupidity! Not only will more cyclists die, automobile collisions will will skyrocket.
But on the other hand, it makes sense, since the EuroElites want to kill off all the indigenous peasants anyway.
Anti-cars == Use government public transportation
Weren’t careless bicyclists responsible for the death of Lawrence of Arabia? At least that’s the impression the movie gave me.
As long as it doesn’t upset their new overlords, the Muslims, the UK can pass anything.
What is it with those limeys? Why have they suddenly gotten stuck on stupid?
Switch to camels.
Spikes in the bike lanes would be so much cheaper and solve multiple problems.
I'm beginning to think that somebody should start analyzing the bread in the U.K.
This is called “Road diet”.
It is being, quietly, implemented everywhere, even in the US, in progressive cities, to fight the global warming.
The idea behind this is simple.
Since the cars are polluting, we need to restrict traffics so badly, that finally, people get fed up with driving and start walking, biking or using city busses!
like shooting fish in a barrel.
This isn’t about the safety of cyclists.
It’s about discouraging people from owning larger cars, from driving.
Most UK roadways are old.
They were never designed for larger cars, let alone allowing cars and cyclists room on the roadway together.
Cyclists are just a weapon in their Deep State’s war on drivers.
OK, I get it. Instead of a road being just barely wide enough to pass a cyclist, they want them narrower so the bikers get run over.
And where is fuel efficiency when a car cannot pass a bike and has to be forced to go 20 mph or less?
In our neck of the woods special lanes are created in a few areas just for bikes to travel in. That would make more sense for both bikers and motorists.
Like the title says, it’s a war on motorists.
Complete idiots... But then again wait till Sharia law takes completely over.
We’ll see.
. It’s completely stupid.’
Stupids vote and put stupids in office. Where’s the problem?
Idiocy - we have wider roads with bike lanes to be sure bikes have room...they’re gonna get a lot of bikers killed because a car going 15 clicks behind a bike is gonna lay on the horn and the biker will flip him the bird and slow down...and things will “progress”
