Drunkcyclist contributor Erik B. has a damn good one in the Tucson Citizen. Excerpt below:

The Tucson Citizen was right to champion Tucson’s efforts to create new bike lanes (July 31 editorial “Pedaling away: new bike lanes”), but the Citizen missed the mark on Tucson’s “bike-friendly” status.

Tucson currently has a “gold” designation from the League of American Bicyclists for its bicycle-friendly infrastructure, and it hopes to upgrade to “platinum,” a status so far achieved only by Davis, Calif.

But many local cyclists wonder if Tucson’s status is deserved.

As a lawyer for Tucson cyclists who have been injured or assaulted by motorists, I have unfortunate experiences with the Tucson Police Department that make me question Tucson’s commitment to our bicycling community.

Keep up the good work, Erik.

The man, the legend. The guy who started it all back in the Year of Our Lord Beer, 2000, with a couple of pages worth of idiotic ranting hardcoded on some random porn site that would host anything you uploaded, a book called HTML for Dummies (which was completely appropriate), a bad attitude (which hasn’t much changed), and a Dell desktop running Win95 with 64 mgs of ram and a six gig hard drive. Those were the days. Then he went to law school. Go figure. Flagstaff, Arizona, USA
