Great job Grant..........in such a limited format.....don't let some of doz 
guyz get ya down. Controversy always gets attention. Its just too bad many 
still believe the common misconceptions you often speak of. I used to think 
many of things you speak about were necessary (clipless pedals, cycling 
specific clothing, helmets all that stuff) until I actually thought about 
it critically and remembered my youth and all the riding we did without any 
of that stuff. I actually did ride a bicycle like most of the rest of the 
world did and still does with.........no helmet, no special 'kit', no 
special shoes, bars actually higher than my saddle, wider tires and no 
emphasis on riding all bent over like a professional racer. Those were some 
of the best bicycling years of my life.....and I didn't die (thankfully) 
from not wearing a helmet even though I crashed more than once.
