Just to clear it up, I'm not talking about:

1. kids on bmx bikes riding around their neighborhoods.
2. your last few blocks to work avoiding a one way street.
3. lugging around your brood of children.
4. MUPs. Raleigh doesn't have MUPs downtown and in most of the city. We have bike sanctioned roads.
5. Riding your grandma to the cupcake factory on your ****ing handlebars.

I'm talking about full gear commuters on slab white SIDEWALKS in very nonhostile areas of road for long clips.
