But I’ve got a beef about biking! *%@#^!”

Back on January 27, 2012, we noted this statement by Erik Schmidt of Santa Cruz: “The number of blogs with ‘rants’ in the title is a testament to the fact that on the internet, rants are not only accepted, but encouraged. Where else but on the internet is it a weird badge of honor to be someone who rants?”

Erik’s statement reflects Bicycling Monterey’s standards and values—and those of many others, e.g., note the Monterey County Weekly’s detailed comment policy: https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/site/comment_policy.html.
