If there is such a lack of understanding of cycling safety or marketing; why are so many cyclists enjoying this article? As Patch has said - many different angles and approaches needs fo be adopted to change things. This is simply ONE of those. Some of the worst driving I have experienced are by cyclists while on their way to/from races in their cars. It is not a cycling vs cars thing; it is a general problem in our current society where everyone has a sense of entitlement and couldn't give a rats ass about the next person - in all environments. Can you honestly say that you obey the traffic ordinances when diving? No speeding, no dangerous overtaking, etc, etc? I'm sorry you had a bad day out on the bike; but don't bash attempts to try and help things. If you don't like the article, or things that PPA does, then simply don't read them. There are loads of people that did enjoy this read, and find it helpful. This sense of entitlement is even seen with you know trying to flog your side to death; why not simply state what you want, and let others enjoy the freedom to express theirs.
