Personally, even though I disagree with the author's partisan ideology overall, I like his point about most bike advocacy being too negative and whiney.
I also agree with the author's point about too much negative and whiney bicycling advocacy/ranting.
The author's affiliation is obvious once he brought up the issue of the mystical safety record (80% less crashes!) of "competent cyclists"/ Bicycle "Drivers."
