<p>I'm failing to recall many specifics, but definitely remember being a little surprised at DG's advocacy of swinging a lock at a car in response to a driver's aggressive behavior (I'm blanking on specific circumstance put forward in this example). I'm hesitant to try to be too specific without referring to the book; I'll do that later this evening and report back then or tomorrow.</p>

<p></p>
<p>And while I may have recoiled in horror, I also remember thinking that in regard to that and some of the other things in the book that jumped out at me likely had to do with changed circumstances/attitudes over the past ~15 years as well as the fact that the # of transportation-minded cyclists is significantly larger then when the book was written/revised.</p>

<p>There's some "tricks and tips" that are a bit outdated and even a few ideas that had me practically recoiling in horror, but in a lot of ways I think it's the most sensibly designed book I've seen about urban riding.</p>
