If a "strong economy" can coincide with—or indeed create—record homelessness and insecurity, then maybe it's time for a change in terminology.

Basically, I'm a vehicular cycling to the extent that I don't want any laws preventing me from being a vehicle in traffic, but will take advantage of any special bike infrastructure available. Just as a car *might* use the HOV lane if useful
