As Taf says, adjustments have already begun.
I'm slightly comforted by the likelihood of this being a temporary scourge for a couple of reasons.

In the short run, as CV recedes, the move back to public transport will gain pace.

In the longer run, pollution free cars will be introduced.

My guiding principle here is that we are in the 21st century and going back to bikes and horses is not a valid option.

As to my irritation, I suppose I can't really complain at commuting cyclists in this free country. It's the Lycra Brigade out on non-working days who have gained in their boldness to make things as awkward as possible for car drivers (who pay for road usage). In my area, the country roads are obviously not being narrowed and its those roads that this scourge infests from my perspective.
