you aren't serious about static road and bicycling conditions between WWII and now, are you, Larry? are you just fawning over jhon?
I've bicycled since the seventies on the roads in several parts of the country. It is OBVIOUS, GLARINGLY APPARANT, that conditions on American roads and the drivers on them have changed.
In '79, as I'm sure you know, Larry, a movie about living the cycling life won an Academy Award. looking back a little further than WWII, in the first decades of the twentieth century, bicycle racing was the largest american spectator sport.
Times change, Larry. The roads and bicycling conditions, the cars and their drivers we interact with, have not stayed static since the 1940's
