There's a bit of bothsideism going on here. On one hand, there are the pro-bike crowd who'd like to have a discussion about the improvements being made to cycling and the other group who come in here calling everyone names (no anti-bike isn't the same as "crazy cycling zealots") and consistently bringing down the discussion. Bikes are a part of transportation systems across the world and we shouldn't have to provide the arguments for why this is the case on a near-weekly basis. To me, it seems obvious there's a few trolls on here who seem to take pleasure in bringing this discussion/thread down to a grade 2 level of debate.
