Hi Gang, that is an interesting article.
Others have already given you some of the reasons not everyone wishes to cycle commute, but if it works for you that is great. I do believe we should where possible make that journey as safe as possible for you.
Personally I am not anti cyclists or cycles, but I have become on here anti idiot (not you),
I enjoy many of your posts particularly about tech in cars and the future, and that is a good example of where you embrace the future currently far more than me and see good things ahead. Me, not yet sure but I suspect I will have to adapt as you are right about the direction being taken.
Look forward to more from you.
