This has led to THRONGS of people on bikes taking to the streets in that cycling paradise known as Florida.

I've heard people compare Amsterdam to Orlando for example!

You are one of the smartest people regularly posting in A&S. How did you manage to fall for group think and miss the "per capita" in my quote? Florida is not skewed in the rankings because of its outlier population of cyclists because of its amazing weather. Actually places like Minneapolis and Portland and NYC that have far worse weather have more cyclists per capita. No, Florida's ranking reflects the temperature of the society as a whole. There is not a lot of tolerance for ... disagreement. I pick my battles. I've made it to 60 by knowing "when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em, when to walk away and when to run" ... when emergent Millenials bring A&S enlightenment to meet Down Home Cussedry, the result is another story on local news.
