CS11 protester says group she heads not behind Regent's Park tacks

And another thing: does she understand that the CS is pretty much sod all to do with "training cyclists" riding circuits of the park...?

...Claims Pope is not Catholic

Her campaign is nonsense.

Cycling superhighways tend to be just blue paint on the road for most of their distance.  The roads that are used  tend to be only one lane width wide anyway for cars, vans etc and all they do is stop cars parking along the road all the time.  This means if you are driving and an emergency vehicle needs to get through you move into the blue paint as long as there are no cyclists there.

Also people like her shouldn't be in cars during busy times of the week. Only those in the trades,  delivery people and the disabled should be allowed to use their cars at those times. She like many of the other lawyers I know should be using public transport to get around.

It's truly ludicrous to claim that making provision for safe cycling increases pollution.

J L-C is anti-cycling and pro-car, and it is the cars that produce the pollution and are the congestion. How do these people expect to be taken seriously when they say such stupid things.

Is the paragraph about Finchley Road being used by 35 million vehicles correct? That must be about the total number of vehicles in the UK, and I can't imagine they all converge on one road.

earmond-Criqui said that Cycle Superhighway 11, which is proposed to run from Swiss Cottage to the West End, would “act as a cork” to traffic, forcing cars onto narrow residential roads and worsening air pollution

this is only true if equal traffic volumes are imposed on roads regardless of capacity, like rainwater drainage. But we know that car use expands to fill the space available. If car journey times increase people will look for other solutions and total motor traffic (and therefor pollution) will decrease.

The backlash is that it is too easy and comfortable to travel by car and people don't want to look for other options, once they find them they probably won't even miss the drive. After all urban driving is not enjoyable.

"Jessica Learmond-Criqui, who is behind a crowdfunding drive to raise £150,000 for a judicial review of CS11, condoned the actions"

Privately, she might well do, but you mean 'condemned' there.

Learmond-Criqui? Too posh by half; not in my urban park. The lady doth protest too much.

If Learmond-Criqui is really so concerned about air pollution, then she'd realise that protected cycling infrastructure is part of the solution.

I don't buy the idea that she isn't anti-cyclists - she doesn't seem desperately concerned about the safety issues that protected infrastructure is designed to address!
