The guy with a yellow windbreaker, Bell Biker helmet and a flippy flag? Yes it was, and he's the future of American bicycle commuting according to infrastructure planners. This presentation is slick, but it is wrong in so many ways -- particularly when applied to American cities (paraphrasing): "returning to the way things used to be . . . going back to bicycles." Dude, California was built around the car. Sure, we rode bikes as kids, but any adult who commuted by bike was considered some Bohemian freak. Bicycle commuting was never big on the West Coast -- and in fact, it is bigger now than when I was a kid. His vaccine analogy also is wrong -- FDA needs two confirming studies, which there are for helmets. A "fourteen percent greater chance" of getting in to an accident while wearing a helmet (?). What, did they run the same riders with and without helmets? He mistates helmet testing protocol, at least in America. I have no interest in MHLs, but this sort of laugh-a-minute banter is useless. It's like talk radio.-- Jay Beattie. |
