No, I don't think your city's opinion is based upon a vignette on the No Hands King. That's like saying that the opinions regarding martial artists are based on a guy who beats his wife.

But people keep popping their head in my office this morning and asking "Did you see that guy and his bike on the news last night?"

That's only because they know that you are a cyclist, and know that you would have been interested in the piece. I was!
