bike-hating cop on critical mass

cop (CO4141) prevents critical mass cyclists from crossing goodge street even though lights are green. he seems to be making an arbitrary distinction that bicycles aren't traffic. according to his perverse theory, the cyclists were obstructing the traffic by being on the road. i wonder if he's ever used that line against a line of cars, buses, lorries, or taxis?
or perhaps it was just utter bullshit?
