A response to a driver who "complained of the inconveniences caused to him, while traveling in his car, by bicycles that have the audacity to ride within a 20-foot radius of him...a bicyclist, who prevents pollution, takes up less space, creates less traffic, doesn't further the dependence on foreign fuels, doesn't contribute to the obesity inclination in our city and doesn't ruin our roads, is not your enemy." [This letter was written in response to a previous letter to the editor at http://www.planetizen.com/news/item.php?id=11091]
