    We saw this coming some time ago, because it wasn’t hard to guess the real reason for cyclist faux indignation about what they call ‘pavement parking’.

    I take it you notice that all references to prams, buggies, and the visually-impaired have suddenly disappeared from the narrative. Quelle surprise!

    The bluff of the chavs on chav-bikes has been well and truly called,
    with their nefarious and quite disgusting aims fully exposed.
