cycling is supposedly getting a boost with the opening of the new 'cycle highways' and the launch of the barclays sponsored hire scheme. but cycling activists are unhappy at many aspects of the ill-thought out highways, and they also see the barclays scheme as aimed at tourists and the middle-classes. already, anti-barclays stickers are appearing on the new bikes, highlighting the company's links to the arms business, and undermining the massive advertising effect of the bikes.
