Thanks Chainwhip for the link to review. JF clearly has some fun with the lack of engineering rigour in Hurst's book. these faults were much more evident in the Cyclists Manifesto. I don't know about the arguments amongst US cycling advocacy but what Hurst says about cyclist behaviours chimes with what I see and read in the UK. For me, reading the book felt like an advance or at least a confirmation of my own theory and experience.
You may have seen this but maybe others haven't - John Forester speaking at Google HQ and not winning many converts, I think; some spectacular dogmatic nonsense on Dutch cycling also:
