The trouble is, good journalists don't sell newspapers. This is why we always get the same old crappy "articles" in the tabloid press that we always have. They do, however, serve a purpose -- they provide information on how not to do it (oh yeah, and the paper might also be good for cleaning up after excreting).

It also shows that we should never underestimate the importance of cycling education. It's worth remembering that many of the people who end up reading these articles are just as clueless as those writing them.
