Excellent, H3N3, an internet argument and ad hominem attack. Didn't I read you in a discussion not long ago decrying the lack of civility displayed towards others with differing opinions? I seem to recall it in a discussion about the last North Side Critical Mass which I thought was kind of fun.
I don't believe I cited anywhere what you're claiming I might believe, it's interesting you can divine all that info from your computer screen. Nor did I mention anything demeaning towards cyclists rights or cycling advocacy, I was berating our wonderful state government and musing on the enforcement of the 3 foot ruling. More laws are not going to protect any of us from the douche-tastic drunk Cubs fans who try to run riders off the road with their Hummers (I speak from personal experience). It's up to the individual rider through their riding skillset and situational awareness to protect themselves and be the best cycling ambassador to any motorists we encounter. Education of drivers and riders seems to me to be more important than another law that brings us closer to a nanny state, however, this is an exercise in futility as there are just as many dim-witted douchebags on two wheels as there are driving 4 wheels.
Just my opinion and again, your mileage may vary.
H3N3 said:If Craig finds the strength to enjoy his cycling by pretending cyclists never die on Illinois roads, and that he is immune from ending up under a car because he wears a little helmet mirror or carries a rabbit's foot blessed by Lance, I say let him.
Perhaps Craig and Howard would be more comfortable fighting in a private forum away from the kids, and stop wasting our time. Just open a new thread "Howard v Craig" and people who think this is interesting can follow you boys there.
