Reasons to dislike the London Olympics:

Militarisation and privatisation of the militarisation.
Security panics.
Transport chaos (more so than usual) and some special transport hassles for cyclists. They get their own traffic lanes.
Corporate tax breaks
Farcically broad rights and the removal of free speech in enforcing them, as well as the
branding police
.
Their website terms of use includes a linking policy which is authoritarian and asinine.

The sheer pointless expense at a time when many other things are losing funding. Necessary things like housing, schools and hospitals.

For some of the Olympic period I will be away in Germany. Hopefully for the rest I can cycle to and from work. I don't think that any of the cycle lane stuff affects my route. And avoid other travel.
