Row over cyclist ban in Olympic Games lanes

Apologies to non-Londoners who are sick of Olympic chatter, but this one does seem a bit strange.

Cyclists are to be banned from 80% of Olympic Games lanes – many of which have been converted from, you guessed it, bus and cycle lanes. There seems something ironic about organising an event all about activity and sport, and then making it far more difficult to use the one form of transport that gives people a good workout.
