I've read the book and I have a couple of issues with it in general

1. He makes the assumption that cyclists have the ability to avoid most if not all accidents. He pointed out in one instance that if a car breaks a red light, the cyclists should have seen him and taken the necessary precautions before crossing the green light. This is nonsense. When I'm going through a green light, I hardly ever look to see if cars are going to break the law because I'm not that paranoid!

2. His for and against the helmet law did not make me want to give up my bucket. In fact, the evidence he gave against helmets (Torsion Injuries) was bogus.

3. He discussed lane splitting but didn't really explain how to do it safely
