It is quite interesting to read Bekologist's repeated claims that I am insufficiently obstructive to other drivers. That means, of course, that he thinks that proper cycling is being deliberately obstructive to other drivers. It is quite obvious that our social views are somewhat different, just as are our cycling views. I think it reasonable to be cooperative, he thinks it best to be obstreporously obstructive. As I have often written, in American bicycling affairs, everything is topsy-turvey.
