I guess the light heartedly correspondence is a bit much for some.
The real part of the discussion that I am not in favor of is the fact that a cycling person is expected to dismount & walk the bicycle across the roadway when using a crossing at an intersection with a traffic signal.
couple that with the placement of the button that most intersections have for a person to depress to activate the signal. Those are awfully close to the road & often beyond an arms reach from the paved section, requiring a person to step into the mud/grass/water where debris often collects.
Most roads I ride on are 40+ mph posted. If I were to not ride on those, I'd almost never have a place to ride.
