A goldfish with a parachute doesn't move any great quantity of anything, it doesn't go very fast either. It does however, tend to ensure that those sharing its thoroughfare travel at its own speeds. If you wish to restore the ability of service vehicles to deliver the goods, (even to cyclists suppliers) extra money has to be wasted to compensate for the Lycra road blocks.
(Inspiration drawn from the old aphorism that a person without god is like a goldfish without a bicycle)
If you consider that I may not be over-enthused at the prospect of swarms of cyclists polluting the environment, then as far as the more visible lycra loonies are concerned, too right. The actual humans who use cycles are not quite so bad. The belligerent adherents to the absolutely overriding rights of hunchbacks on safety cycles are not so easily tolerated.
Cycle lanes are paid for by the many for the benefit of the few to the detriment of travel ability all but the few.
Am i biased? Yup. Why? Using both eyes and ears, reading press releases of the Lycranauts, and experience. The pedagogoggleists derive opposite conclusions from their version of the same equipment viewing the same evidence. C'est la vie.

Entropy is not what
it used to be.
