This quote was forwarded to me via the shift mailing list:
“The dedicated urban cyclist is a new kind of pioneer. Pioneers have an obligation to those who would follow in their tracks, to show them the way. Instead of highlighting the difficulties and frustrations, instead of obsessing about conflict, get out there and show the nation how easy it already is to cycle in the city. Wear “normal” clothes for short rides. Put the superiority of the bicycle on display. Be responsible, unflappable, and polite. Ride with style grace and intelligence. Ride with fear and joy.”
