Headline is prob not fair but the article is full of the same old tired arguments.
Cycle lanes cause congestion. Cool, lets get some cars off the road, that'll help.
Cyclists get injured too. Yes, by cars. See previous point.
It's gonna impact ambulances. OK, but apart from less cars = less "accidents" and therefore less callouts, that road has enough space down the middle for an ambulance to drive sideways?! Do they think planners don't take emergency routes/access into account in their plans? I assure you they do.
I have to turn at a right angle to get into the driveway. Yes, you have to slow down, which improves the chances you'll spot and therefore not hit somone. You can't careen wildly into a driveway at speed anymore. Sorry, not sorry.
My low car might get an owie. Yes, you chose a low car. There are a million things that might impact it i.e basically every single driveway, speed hump, gutter or object on the road.
My big car doesn't even get impacted by your speed bumps. Wow, so what is it? We have to build higher speed bumps. Okay, but mr sports car is going to be getting even more owies. I don't know what we're supposed to do with that information/brag?
My business will die if you remove the one park outside my door. Wow, your business is on its death bed already then?! I'm very sorry. I don't think that one car park is doing all you think it is? Personally I only go to a business that is near a bus stop or good cycling infrastructure but I know I'm weird because I don't own a car but really, I see this argument all the time and it makes no sense. Can't people park around the corner and walk a few minutes?! If someone parks in a parking building you often have to walk/take a lift/take multiple stairs and STILL end up walking to the shop. Maybe slap up a bike stand and work on your marketing, product, quality, service or whatever else will make an actual difference to your businesses survival? /rant
