The danger with bicycle advocacy, is being careful to not accept what you don’t want with the idea that it’s better than nothing.
If Dr. King would of done that, then the civil rights movement would of had better seating in the back of the buses and called it a victory.

I just don’t think he meant his words to be stretched to include bicycles as a means to his vision. This tract reminds me of using his words to sell cars.
Sorry for the observation, but it just doesn’t fit in my opinion.
