    I tried to leave a comment on the MSNBC story, but it was apparently rejected. I was civil, but critical of the fact that the author implied that a carbon-fiber bike, extra-foamy mocha lattes and a fractured arm were all part of the cost of bicycle commuting.

    These are the kinds of misleading articles that help people to dismiss cycling as an extremist, niche activity.
