Be safe.
I just find it hard to believe that you believe Diane does not have an appreciaton for the difference between cycling and cycling in traffic. That seems like kind of a low blow. Forrester is so dang pedantic and a cliff notes version of his tome would suffice for most situations and certainly be read by more beginning cyclists. A book is helpful, but it's not the only path to enlightenment.
