I know you said you couldn't ride a bike on a road until you read his book, but still.
Rando, that's not what I said. You should know that. Somehow, this second-hand misquote is getting convenient recycling.
What I did say was that his writings changed my view to encourage me to ride my bike on roads where I previously supposed it wasn't feasable. It could have been anyone's encouragement that fell into my lap, and I'd be praising them for their encouragement, instead. It's not like riding a bike on the road involves a secret formula. At least I can say that Forester, despite whatever shortcomings others say he has, helped me.
Some people find that laughable. Go for it, I never claimed to be anything but a regular person who rides a bike.
