Oh yeah man, I got your point and agreed with it wholeheartedly. Just engaging in the usual internet nitpicking... It's funny, a buddy just got a road bike and I went for a ride with him yesterday. I am about as far from a VC type as you can get, but I was going crazy trying to make him understand how he would be much safer 3 feet or so out from the curb, than riding right in the gutter. I think it is really counter intuitive for a lot of people.
