Yeah, I only got 35 years commuting in traffic...apparently I must be dead and just don't know it.
Seriously, it boggles me that the opinions are so black and white on this issue. WTF cares where someone rides as long as they are comfortable and safe to both themselves and others? We get these same black vs white BS debates concerning clothing, listening to music, and of course helmets...and those are just the cycling related topics. Is our society really this ignorant and closed-minded?
