It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Where I live in Western Australia they're not ripping bike lanes out per se, but existing bike infrastructure is just pitiful, and improvements are so painfully slow.
There's just no cycling culture here. It's considered a sport rather than a mode of transport.
It's not really clear whether scooters are going to have a positive impact by increasing demand for this infrastructure, or a negative impact by increasing animosity towards anything which is not a car.
