They all love cycling but most of them stay to the cycling trails or the park system, feeling it it too dangerous to be out on the streets.
It gets a bad rap and it's a controversial topic I think, but CM would be a great thing for new riders to attend to see and meet the others out there and realize there's just a lot of "regular" folks out and about every day and that everyone on the streets isn't some rebel from beyond the Thunderdome. Too bad the same bad rap prevents a lot of those people from coming out.
Also, CM is tomorrow
