It's the "opinionated guide" ... and it's a one-liner.
As lots of teh comments on the bike commuter page noted... the angry response could rather easily give one the idea that commuting cyclists are arrogant and hostile. This is a chance to introduce those folks to the cycling community. What kind of impression do we want to make?
I know there's been debate over the value of cycling as the hip HOllywood trend when the celebrity of the week cruises by on a $12,000 bicycle. Still, if that's the window to see cycling through... what about the European cycling culture?
Imagine if the response from that one-liner inspired them to *feature* the kind of people they admire who do ride bicycles. (I don't know the rag, so I don't know who they'd be but I bet they exist, even if not in this country.)
