“The show is okay. They advocate vehicular cycling. After more than 40 years of enacting the vehicular cycling idea, how well is it working to grow bicycle use as transportation? In the U.S., not at all. It's like saying that black diamond skiing is safe. It is if you are good enough and comfortable enough to ski black diamond runs, but I wouldn't send my family down those runs. Not until recently, when cities began changing the design of their streets, have we seen growth in bicycle use. Average people will use bicycles when they feel safe.
Helmet talk gets old. When we mandate helmets, we send the message that bicycling is dangerous further keeping people off bikes, yet we don't think twice about driving. And if we pass laws mandating helmets we kill bike share systems because no one walking past a bike share hub has a helmet on them.
Changing street design and getting away from vehicular cycling will add more bicycle riders making bicycle riding safer, which will reduce or even remove the need for helmets. Stop advocating vehicular cycling.
Lastly, indoor trainer talk gets old, too. How wonderful it must be to use a bicycle to go nowhere.”Read full review »

“Talk about whatever you want. I think it is still allowed. I enjoy it even though I’m conservative. However, I am not a draft dodging, racist, rapist, mentally defective, coward.”
