When I said "the history of this discussion" I was referring to the
several-year run of exchanges between "R15757" and myself.
And there is no doubt he wants people to fear cycling. Here's a quote:
"The absolute danger of cycling in traffic can be summed up thusly:
it is safe only for those who know it's dangerous. For those who think
it's safe, it is quite dangerous indeed."
That's "R15757" from May 30 of this year. The thread was titled "Re:
Helmets" and it was in rec.bicycles.misc
Feel free to read that entire thread, if you like.
