This was supposed to be my cranky, somewhat political blog, but I'm struggling to maintain the venom required to argue the propositions below, so I'll leave them for another day.
In the meantime, it's Summer, and the time is right for all kinds of good stuff.
A few topics for later:
Bike NZ will never be an effective advocate for cycling in New Zealand
That most recreational cyclists are stooges of the Car Culture, fortunately for me, Maynard Hershon nailed this one years ago.
That Bike NZ's Team Pursuit-based elite track program is largely smoke & mirrors bullshit
Increasing fuel costs ought to be a gift to the bicycle industry in New Zealand, but most of the protagonists are so tied to their own car-centric lifestyles that they will probably miss the opportunity.
