John was a proper cycling road warrior, he got himself arrested on a number of occasions riding a cycle on US motor only roads. Admired him loads for his reclaim the street mission.
I had one disagreement with him. When I wrote the latest version of the Cycle Training Instructor Manual I sent him a copy. He liked it but we didn't agree about the best saddle height.
Cycle instructors teach people to be able to stop and put the balls of their feet down while still sitting in the saddle. John insisted that this was too low and that riders should come forward and sit on the crossbar when stopping. John Franklin, the UK's version of Forester sided with me :) CSB
