At Sono Lumo, bike riders were asked to dismount for 100m. Now they plan to protest in the Star casino’s driveway (www.brisbanetimes.com.au)

I see "asked to" in the title. Why is the response not "no way, get fucked, fuck off"?

There were gates put in place and bouncers to prevent people from riding straight through. You could still get off your bike, walk past the bouncer, and then ride to the next gate, which plenty of cyclists were doing.

Personally one of the issues is the casino bouncers doing traffic control. Even as a compliant citizen I have been berated and harassed by bouncers.
