Those books have been talked about here on the BF, heck I expected to see a sub-forum just on Grant Peterson. Take it all with a grain of salt, at the end of the day there is little difference between any of these cultural observers. We could go on and on joking about lone wolf Peterson riding the sidewalks in in his $150 poncho warning the world all carbon forks will explode, hipster BSNYC writing fluff pieces for Bicycling Magazine and snarking at everyone he isn't. If you are thinking about what someone else thinks about your riding when you're riding, you are doing it wrong.
