Bikes: Three road bikes. Two track bikes.

Would someone please specify what you think the "Foresterite/EC/VC ideology" to which you refer stands for with which you disagree?
If 28 pages of debate spanning 679 posts over a concept where nobody can convince anybody of anything is not an ideological debate, I don't know what is. This is not simply a case of one idea being right and one being wrong, it is a failure to come to common grounds on the axioms of our beliefs.

You ask what ideology you hold, think of all the beliefs about the politcal and sociological aspects of cycling you hold and cannot be convinced to give up. That's your ideology. The absolute opposition to bike lanes in the face of any argument is part of it.
