As Mandy likes quotes from Michael Colville-Anderson, here are some more (he has used all capitals and I'm not re-writing them...)

"IF YOU DON’T SEE THE BICYCLE AS PART OF THE SOLUTION, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM."

"“THERE IS NO SPACE FOR BIKES“ IS A FLAWED ARGUMENT. THERE IS LOADS OF SPACE. WE CALL IT “STREETS” AND STREETS ARE PUBLIC SPACE.
TRYING TO SQUEEZE BICYCLES INTO THE EXISTING ROAD DESIGN WON’T WORK. THE ONLY WAY FORWARD IS RE-ALLOCATING STREET SPACE FOR PROTECTED BIKE LANES."

"EXPECTING CYCLISTS TO ADHERE TO TRAFFIC RULES AND STREET DESIGN INVENTED TO SERVE THE AUTOMOBILE IS NAIVE. IT’S LIKE EXPECTING SQUASH PLAYERS TO USE RUGBY RULES WHILE PLAYING."

"NO, BICYCLE USERS SHOULDN’T “TAKE ANOTHER ROUTE“ DOWN SOME OTHER STREET OR “AWAY FROM TRAFFIC“. THEY ARE TRAFFIC AND THEY HAVE PLACES TO GO, JUST LIKE YOU. "

"INCREASING NUMBERS OF BICYCLE USERS IN A CITY IS A SIGN THAT THE CITY IS MODERNISING THEIR TRANSPORT AND
PREPARING FOR RISING URBANIZATION - ALL WHILE IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL CITIZENS. KIND OF WEIRD TO HATE ON THAT, ISN’T IT?"

"IF WE WERE RATIONAL, ALL CARS WOULD HAVE TO HAVE HEALTH WARNINGS PLASTERED ALL OVER THEM, LIKE CIGARETTE PACKAGING. ALMOST ALL OF THE AILMENTS CAUSED BY CIGARETTES ARE ALSO CAUSED BY CARS."

"WHEN BIKES WERE INVENTED THEY FIT PERFECTLY INTO CITIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. WHEN CARS WERE INVENTED, THEY BECAME THE RAGING BULL, COMPLETELY OUT OF SCALE WITH
THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT."

Plenty more of a similar ilk where those came from.  As a fan of his writings, I'm sure Many agrees with them.
