I have it on good authority that the camera man had a helment-mount mirror during the photo session to mitigate (but not completely eliminate) the risk of being run down by a cyclist on a Sunday afternoon.

I ran across something that gives me pause about this phrase.

Yeah, not so sure cyclists should act as the drivers of motor vehicles...

Maybe JF had it backwards, considering the 30k annual death toll? Maybe "motorists fare best when they proceed with the caution of a cyclist"?
