"We can't earn so lycra-clad 'athletes' can tootle around": NIMBY locals thrilled by Commonwealth Games road closures
And, in fairness, there are just as many supportive comments here, and a few asking why the event couldn't be held at the weekend?

Straight in with a cracker:"The only thing that surprised me is that Wolverhampton Council hasn't closed all the roads in Wolverhampton for months and built special extra-wide cycle lanes for the race. Funnily enough the worst congestion in Wolverhampton for months has been caused by the closure of much of Wednesfield Road at Heath Town to create sodding cycle lanes and it's not part of the race route.
Superb bit of bingoing worked into the next one..."Amazing for the area, pity the cyclists training tonight ran the red light and almost wiped us out in Sedgley. If the cars stopped think they should have too."
