I guess nothing can escape the polarization in today’s cultural climate, even cycling.
Empathy and understanding is increasingly being displaced by anger and judgement.
I love bikes, being made of multiple mechanical parts, they’re in essence machines, like cars, motorcycles and planes, which I also love.
So I’m a cyclist, a driver, a rider, and a flyer.
We need to share our space with each other regardless of what machine we’re on is my assessment.
Yeah, well, I ain't sharing my back country roads with your airplane.

Though I once saw a near collision with an ultralight taking off just as a crop duster flew down over the trees. Kind of scary, and I was the guy on the bike at the other end of the field!
