Nobody Speaks My Language Like Mighk

Mighk Wilson is a full-time cycling guy in Florida that I first ran across on Commute Orlando. He doesn't write as often as some, but man, when he writes stuff it is very good. I am a sucker for a reasoned, balanced and logical approach to cycling issues. That's this guy in spades, and I think he may be my very favourite serious writer on cycling stuff. That's saying something, because I (God help me) read tons of this stuff, at least online.

I know lots of my regulars are already very familiar with Mighk, but for those of you who aren't, go here for the latest thing from somebody who isn't just some goof.


Yer Pal,

R A N T W I C K

"Of the few [drivers] who aren’t courteous, most are just poor, pathetic convicts in a prison of their own making, so I try not to give them a hard time."

-Mighk

I will use this quote for the rest of my life. Thanks for the intro, Lemming.

As for reading bike stuff, at least your writing, too. I gotta get my sh*t together. You good bloggeurs are a constant (daily, you could say) reminder.

If you haven't read Mighk's collection of essays, you can download it from the FBA website.

When I first got into cycling advocacy, I ran across "the language of marginalization" on Bicyclinglife.com, then I googled his name and read everything else I could find.:-)

Psyclepathic - Hey, I'm no Lemming! No offense, of course, Lemming!

Keri - I knew one of my other big favourite writers (you) were a fan. I will download that stuff. Thanks very much for the link.

Thanks for the heads up... that blog is now the newest member of my links section.

Your right, very well thought out and reasoned, unlike the shit I turn out daily.

CFS - I thought you were pretty well reasoned yerself... if you want to have a nonsense-off, I would win for sure.

Keep up the nonsense.

RANTWICK said...

Cafiend - I could proceed in no other way.

Oops! Wrong bloggeur. You and Bike Lemming are both regular feeds for me.
