It’s mostly talk anyway so you can just listen to it. That’s what I did.

Sure, but riding among cars will never be the safest option. Good, dedicated separated bike paths ought to be the most comfortable to exercise-oriented riders too, given that they have all the upsides of roads (and then some; no potholes!) with no cars.

The video is about a guy called John Forester, who was a road racing cyclist who vocally opposed all cycling infrastructure, arguing for what he called “vehicular cycling” where you ride on the road among cars following the same rules as cars, which, in his view, was safer than separate bicycle paths, which according to him were very unsafe. He was a vocal critic of cycling infrastructure and apparently quite influential in the US.

He wrote a 800-page book manifesto titled Effective Cycling where he argues that any form of cycling except riding racing bicycles at high speed wearing lycra is a complete waste of time, fit only for children. It’s also full of more questionable traffic safety advice.

Maybe you’ve heard of Novell, the American company that bought SUSE in the early 2000s and then eventually sold it off. They were kind of big in the 2000s.

After many more mergers and acquisitions SUSE is (for now) back under European ownership.

SuSE is European.

The shark kill count would go up way more if we started milking them on an industrial scale.
