> Have you like… ever been on a bike in a country where cycling isn't normalized? There's no need to look for these people, they'll find you
Of course, and I never claimed otherwise. I'm just saying, these articles are not those people.
> ... stuff the British tabloids make more sense when read as bad satire ...
Sure but that's different from what's happening here. The article I quoted has a particular point to make and the use of cycling as an analogy is totally incidental.
[Edit: OK, looking back, maybe some of them are just trash tabloid stories. In that case they're just saying anything at all that stirs up emotions to sell papers (it really is like Twitter). Note that many/all of them are not "cycling is bad" but "we heard some people saying cycling is bad". My overall point, don't take them too seriously, is still valid.]
