On the Other Hand, Cycle Lanes Are Vital to National Security

From the Croydon Guardian:

Andrew Pelling, MP for Central Croydon, was searched by police officers who thought he might be a terrorist, despite him showing his House of Commons pass when they asked for identification.

Mr Pelling had been taking pictures of the cycle lane at the junction of Addiscombe Road and Cherry Orchard Road and said his motive was to highlight the “long-neglected bicycle and pedestrian route”, which had been of concern to his constituents.

    I suppose to those dependent on foreign oil, motorized vehicles, the politics of fear and the status quo, cyclists are a real and serious threat.
