I'm sure it's not entirely the same in the UK, but in the US, it's often mamils that are most opposed to better bike infrastructure and accessibility. Some of the original major opponents to bike paths here were guys who didn't think they could bike as fast as they wanted on dedicated bike lanes, and they thought that having bike lanes would disallow them from using roads.

I think it's the same going on now. Weekend warrior lycra guys trying to prevent the masses from clogging their transportation infrastructure.
