Just building on the post from this morning about the Globe article and the Cyclists Union...

This article has brought up a lot of interesting discussion about how the "mainstream media" portrays cycling issues and those who care about them.

I personally think the Globe article was generally good - cycling issues are generally a "marginal" topic as most mainstream media writers and readers can't relate to the issues very well.

What do you think of the article?

What do you think of the Cyclists Union idea?

You can check the Spacing Toronto post where there is a lot of comments about this, or comment here on this post, or add your thoughts to a thread about this in the very new BikingToronto Forum.

For Sale / Wanted section on the new forum? How do I get new areas posted there?

Great idea beerich. :)

I've started a "marketplace" section in there.

Actually, an area where we can just discuss crap would be great too.

Like a "General Discussion" type of thing?

You bet. Just odd stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else. Probably be the most interesting area.

Okay - I've added a "General Discussion" part for whatever. :)

Tell your friends. :)
