Y'know, I think Grant and Jan really intend the same thing; they say it in very different ways. I think Jan's intention of accepting all cycling and all cyclists is, really, intended by Grant in this sense, that he wants (and says in a very strong way) cycling to include kinds and kit other than the racing kind that is so pushed by marketers and therefore media. In other words, Grant is, I think, not so much saying "don't be like a racer" as "there are other kinds of cycling, more normal, that are better suited to more people -- you don't have to ride carbon fiber and wear lycra to enjoy cycling."
Which amounts largely to the same thing. Grant just has a more emphatic and indeed confrontational way of communicating.
