I'm not going off what I read - I am going off what I directly see, hear, feel.

Unfortunately, you are working from a limited empirical scope. You are looking at CM and what you intend to do and not at what you are accomplishing. Obviously you are not provoking as much anger there in your town as CM is provoking in highly (and legendarily) congested areas like SF/Oak, or Seattle - both of which are ridiculously congested and both of which would benefit from people cycling.

You still haven't answered the impression and transferrence points. . . which are my MAIN POINTS.

I don't care what CM intends - I care about how their ACTIONS are interpreted and how that interpretation affects ALL OF US.

almost forgot -
