I get the sense that many people who post up in the comments of the bike blog, don't actually like cycling, rabidly fear traffic and want everyone to dress up like a christmas tree for a 5 min ride to the park.
Personally I'd like more articles which don't talk about the dangers of cycling, as if you take your life in your hands every time you get into the saddle. More uplifting cycling stories, that show how cycling is fun, safe, enjoyable...
The imbalance needs to be redressed somehow, and the Guardian should be at the forefront of it. Rather than falling into lockstep with the other cycling is dangerous merchants..
