  1. Point 1: the UK “cyclist” dweeb neglects to mention that even if cyclists are TEN times as bad at following rules, they still represent only trivial danger compared to the motorized giants.

    Point 2: thanks for reminding me just how out of touch with reality BUYcycling editors are when they opine that a $2000 carbon bike without fenders, lights, or rack is a “commuter” or “city” bike in any rational manner. Sheesh!
