Is this sort of comment neccessary?? I am once again wondering why
people on this list feel the need to be so nasty to one another.I'm sure
no disrespect was mean't by this comment, but I am concerned about the
rather mean tone alot of these discussions take.
Disagreement is great, part of the point is to share different ideas
with one another. I'm not asking for a pollyanna discussion, just a
little respect for one another.
For the record, a bicycle activist is someone who advocates safer, more
accessable streets to ride in. I became an advocate after my husband was
forced off the road by a car (who left the scene), had to have major
surgery and lost three months of work.The police wouldn't even take a
statement from him.
