The starting point is anti-anything-but-a-car, so it's understandable that in the process of getting to any sort of parity you'd feel like it's "harassment".
It's like claiming getting rid of slavery is "harassment", because your unfair privileges are being taken back.

Imagine how "hounded" everyone else feels by driver friendly polies in other cities.

When one is accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
Motorists are incredibly fragile. I'm glad Paris has had a mayor who could stand up to their entitled whinging.
