Bekologist, both of your statements are self-contradictory, another demonstration of what can reasonably be described as the intellectual problems of bicycle advocacy.
If I were an automobile advocate, I would oppose congestion. Those who advocate congestion are the anti-motorists such as your bicycle advocating self.
You have complained at great length that I advocate cycling on roads rather than cycling on bikeways. Now you choose to complain that I think that most cyclists should not be cycling on the streets.
I understand that a person with the deep insight necessary to produce such seemingly paradoxical statements ought to be considered a near genius, but that level of genius does not become observable by we of lower intellects until it is explained to us in words of no more than five syllables.
