A valid point about #FloatingBusStops - these are international best practice and if there was a decent alternative, someone else would have developed in the last 50 years. As no-one has… The argument against them is a combination of bad faith opposition to #ActiveTravel, and #BritishExceptionalism

Stupid to even consider a ban. Does Mark Harper like death and injury? That's what he'll get and be responsible for with a massive setback for safe cycle routes.
Why does the UK find it so difficult and controversial to do something which is common in Europe and works with minimal issue?
