Folks, don't you get it?
We don't want a whole bunch of cyclists. We want the road (or at least our portion of the road) to ourselves.
Screw the motorist; let 'em sit. But one thing's for sure: I don't want a whole bunch of rookie cyclists clogging up my lanes like some kind of wimpy bike trail on a weekend at the park. I like being the 1-in-100,000.
