Stop Telling Me What to Like
Everyone has a point of view. Every single person has a different take on the facts. But problems start when one person's opinions are presented as facts for everyone else. Even worse when those opinions are enshrouded in law. Or become the foundation stones of the cultures with which we might connect. That's religion, that's government and that's certainly the case for science! Everyone is partial to pushing a few opinions here and there. So why not push a whole lot more! I wondered what it might look like if I were to create a manifesto of opinions presented like facts for everyone else. So here it is; a fact list shaped by my cycling-centric view of the world!

Iron Man vs Bicycle Man
The bicycle is not just a machine. It's a template for how the world should run! There's something amazingly honest about the mechanics of a bike. Consider the chain. We can watch the work a chain does; we can see how the pedals connect to the cogs and understand how our legs apply power. Imagine if businesses and governments were as transparent as this in relation to how they put their power on the road. It seems that most organisations these days try as hard as possible to disguise the drive chains they use; power works through impenetrable depths of bureaucracy; transparency is the last thing on anyone's mind. So, if we need to fix the way a business or country works, good luck in diagnosing what when wrong. If only the world could be built like a bike!

There's a new health scare scam going down right now. It's the designer malady of Low T. Low testosterone. Men running out of manliness. The cure, the say, is to take a pill. Or to take a lot of pills at $500 per month. Take these pills and your youth will be restored; on your way to the grave once the side-effects kick in. Take the quiz at left to see if you qualify for Low T pills. Or take up cycling instead; because the symptoms they describe are those of a bicycle-shaped hole in the life that might otherwise be yours to enjoy. But, we must be careful here. Let's not pretend that there aren't some serious side-effects to consider through cycling your way back to good health. Read the fine print. Then consult your bicycle for all the cure you're ever really likely to need. Get the full story on the phenomenal cycling cure in this latest post to Bicyclism Blog: the Miracle Cure.
