When your argument devolved into the semantics of what I meant by "many" it became reductio ad absurdum. This employer:

I also suppose you gather that if the census doesn't accurately count cyclists or they don't work for your employer they don't exist.
According to the US Census bureau 6.3% of my city's population bike as their primary transport mode. I was not making some sort of precise national claim...many...is..well...many.
Again you speculate and generalize about cyclists and their requirements based on your narrow choice of associates, parochialism, and the trends mentioned in your favorite fangirl blogs.
I will concede that my statement was overly biased. Just because I do not want to ride a dutchie does not mean they are not an ideal bike for others.
