Mark I'm not saying it's not important enough. I'm saying I've seen where we were a culture of outdoor riding and huge advocacy's for our own safety for generations (you honestly don't think we've already been advocating for our own safety/presence?????).....and that difference did what for us???
-we are at a point where more and more outdoor cyclists are having to decide just how "safe" they actually are.
So I was more or less saying we've have the greatest numbers of advocacy for ourselves already imo with # of cyclists on the road and that did what difference? We've created cities with bike lanes, we've pushed for better advocacy of biker safety, etc etc. So I'm questioning your "make a difference" point. I'd argue we've seen just how much it has or hasn't helped in the fact that people who LOVE outdoor riding have to make decisions based on their "safety".
So when I hear someone like you or Ken seemingly sorta slap the wrists of people riding indoors now for their own safety (as if it's their fault your less safe now), I kinda push back on that.
