Nobody reads anything on A&S and thinks anything other than the fact that those of us that post in here are nuts. Every thread devolves into an argument that looks like a discussion of which way the toilet paper roll should face at a convention of OCD sufferers.
that is out... meaning the paper should roll toward your pull, not slinky in a cowardly matter toward the wall or cabinet.


as to the OP......... The single most effective adovacy is to ride your bike. Ride VC, Ride on infrastructure. Ride in you khakis and Polo shirt, ride in your full team kit, ride you utility bike, ride your race bike, rid for fun, ride for errands, ride for exercise, ride to race, ride to see your kid have fun.

second most effective advocacy, help some one ride, teach a kid, fix a neighbors bike, volunter to fix bikes for charity......

third most effective advocacy, get involved with your local government.... vounteer (more cities have citizens advisory committee's than you would think)

and when in doubt.....ride your bike

treat A&S as what it is a diversion.
