i race, ride for health/fitness and for transportation --- i just love to ride
as a recreational sport: not many problems...
* for MTB, trail access/ettiquette
as a spectator sport:
*not enough people understand cycling (good example the idiot journalist who claimed cycling shouldn't be considered a "real" sport b/c it doesn't require speed or strength)
as transportation:
* people are lazy
*cities are designed for autos instead of people (cyclists and pedestrains)
* motorists endanger cyclists and pedestrians
* people associate AUTO with IMAGE
