Bike Nazis in the Oregonian

My "Commuting Etiquette" commentary for Portland's daily newspaper, The Oregonian, about bicyclists vs. car drivers vs. Tri Met buses vs. pedestrians, has fanned the flames of our vicious local transportation war. Join in the fun at a blog near you! I even earned a spot on a muttering right-wing Republican blog, where I'm called a "communist coffee drinking Critical Mass supporter" yet quoted at length. On the brighter side, the piece is also being used in an educational forum as an example of how to write clear, persuasive prose. All this fun for one little rant! It almost makes me want to give up poetry.
