Maybe you can enlighten us as to what right and rules you think Patrick was talking about then we can have a discussion about those.
Its part of the core message that CS pontificates, and he has been an ardent supporter of their anti cycling*1 ideology. This thread he opens with a VC*2 disclaimer, then proceeds to preach its virtues. Its the old "were not here to convert you, just show you our truth".

*1 Riding a bicycle like its a bicycle in accordance with its strengths and weaknesses to best match conditions and ones abilities.
*2 Driving a bicycle like its a car despite its strengths and weaknesses even when contrary to conditions and ones abilities.
