So how much disruption have you suffered during your life because you came across a cycling event? Try living near a professional football ground and you'll see what you have to put up with once a fortnight for nine months of the year, then there are the various marathons and half marathons which take place throughout the summer. The Notting Hill Carnival shuts a large area of London down for three days every year, but of course it isn't done to complain about that without being branded as some sort of ist.
Millions of us either take part in or watch events which cause disruption on the roads, it's just something to put up with and any inconvenience is minor and short lived.
