I agree with Matimeo in theory, but with Aaron in practice. In the case of advocacy, for example: I would love to be able to do something and make a difference. If advocacy helped anything, I would advocate. But it doesn't. We cyclists can't even agree with one another. If I could change the world for the better (as I see it) I would get just as much resistance from cyclists as from anyone else. So I don't. It's not that I don't care; it's that I don't care enough.
