Seems like an article that expects perfection(Snob's definition of course) and rejects anything less.
Really though, what am I supposed to take away from that? Why isnt is acceptable for a company have the import rights for some car brands and also own some bike brands? Or is the takeaway that if I dislike an oil company sponsoring things, I have to also not use anything from Pon's brands because they have the rights to import some vehicle brands to NL?
...I think the 2nd interpretation is what the take away is supposed to be. If that is the correct takeaway, all I can say is 'meh'. It isnt applicable to anyone that isnt also outraged over an oil company sponsoring something. So given that, the article was far from 'worth it'.
If you follow BSNYC at all you know he likes to skewer Bike Advocates who take a holier-than-thou approach to cycling. Or the constant outrage over obstructions in the bike lane, as if obstructions in general aren't just a fact of life for anyone in NY.
