Link-wander resulted in rediscovering JWZ's epically bitchy bike advice post from '08, so I'm sharing. Fun game: send it to a friend and try to guess how much of it they'll violently disagree with!

(I actually quite like the post, except for the part about riding on sidewalks. An oft-overlooked virtue of the abrasive geek textual aesthetic is its implicit assertion that the problem at hand is a: knowable and b: not too many levels harder than whatever else you have to deal with on a regular basis. It's reassuring, if that's what you're wired for.)

That is true, but I am the person that the target audience is warned to stay far away from for advice and that is what I fail utterly to understand. Because I do a lot of biking, love bikes, own a few different ones, and wear gear appropriate to my activities, that makes me a poor choice for advice?
