In the news

So you don't agree that cycling should be normalised as a day-to-day activity instead of being an activity that's only performed by an out group? Why not?

I ride 100+ miles a week. I follow the highway code, am courteous to other road users. I wear cycle specific clothing, it keeps me cool, and keeps my saddle sores at bay. Most of the worst cycling I see is by in experienced cyclists, often in what kahn describes as 'normal' clothing.

With this comment, Kahn is promoting a false prejudice based on appearance. He is saying that people who look like me are assholes. He is also saying that it is impossible to get a work-out from your commute, without riding agressively. I climb Gipsy hill every night, sometimes twice. I sprint down the longer open stretches of the old kent road. I manage to do this without antagonising anyone.

Kahn is a twat should speak to some cyclists before pronouncing on them.
