Bicyclists who wanted a bike-friendly bridge? I've seen that. Old people who want a level crossing rather than an elevated bridge over a road? I've seen that too. Local landowners who don't want any change to their view. That's pretty common for all projects.

Then there are the fundamentalists who fight any outlay of taxpayer dollars.

We're talking about the Rotherhithe pedestrian and cycling bridge. I can assure you that cyclists were not lobbying against a cycling bridge, and that you cannot get a level crossing over a major river.
