I'm afraid the cynic in me says bigots and facists come in both genders...

A comment like th one above

"I think that will only happen when women rule this world"

makes me think of "great" women leaders...

Benazir Bhutto... Maggie Thatcher... Golda Mair...



Oh... and RM... very interesting article you have found. I think my response to that is that local and central governments need to educate "the general public" about cycling benifits... family/personal healt/environment/sustainability etc etc etc...
Just like they have in this country with alcohol and education.
It can't be left to cyclists to change the minds of road-ragers...
Thank you for posting - very thought-provoking

No offense taken , you said it better then I.

I felt sorry for the older woman getting out of the van also. She looked confused, along with the driver. I kept thinking about my grandparents. This Saturday is my first ride on the road with a group of people, and I know that I don't know 'everything' about road riding laws. That's where if people would just be charitable to one another, give a little bit of slack, it would go a long way. I don't expect anything more then common sense and courtesy, but since the vehicle outweighs me by probably 4,000 pounds, I think I should probably be the one that is extra cautious. But...I'm still going to wear my "Female Planet" t-shirt
