LCFers,
I did not intend to offend anybody, including Machka. I have reread my posts and I sincerely believe that I stated my opinions about bike to work in an objective and non-personal manner. I think most people would agree that there is a line between commenting on facts and opinions versus commenting on other persons who may disagree about those facts and opinions.

If, however, I did offend anybody, please inform me and I will make amends.

Otherwise, enough said about this side issue, IMO.

However, I think this is an interesting topic, and I would love to see us get back on track.

Maybe not everybody agrees with me that bike to work events have become lame. But, agree or disagree, I'm pretty sure we would all like to come up with ideas to make them even more effective.
