And yet here you (we) are.
I left the advocacy "movement" some 25-30 years ago because of philosophical differences, and don't consider myself a "bicycle advocate" by any stretch.
I'm here and I speak publicly on the various issues mainly to reinforce the point that those who purport to speak for bicyclists, speak only for themselves and those who share their views, which is a far cry from bicyclists in general. Cyclists encompass a large and varied community, and I find the notion that we should be expected to speak with a single voice, or hue to a single message insulting.
