no it's not, and you recreationists need to stop telling this
repeated Big Lie.



Dennis,

I don't know of a single commute cyclist who did not begin cycling for the
purpose of recreation. I started cycling at at 6 and would ride simply for
the sake of riding. Sure, at times, I had a destination in mind, but more
often, I found riding was more enjoyable than, say, watching sports on TV.
Now, I both commute and cycle recreationally. Often, I use the same roads
for both.

Perhaps I am missing something in your perspective, but as written, calling
this a "big lie" is a big disinformation campaign.
