Just a quick word on the embarassing and sad press coverage of biking this week. Now magazine once again attempts to create a special status for bike users that assumes they need to break the law to co-exist on our roadways. This is not what I am after as a cyclist. I don’t need special status, I need respect on the road.
As for the Toronto Star, well, they seem to want to scare us all off the road to make it safer for cars. It’s all very sad that there seems to be no middle position between smug special status and terrified avoidance of the road.
