as for einstein,
he rode his bike to school and work, as he was afraid of cars, citing the relative uncontrolled variables and statistical probability danger factors.
these still hold true today, peolple are just willing to risk it...

he also came to denounce nuclear weapons and organized against them.

I mean, you get stuff like, "Yo, man!, just dig that Schwarzennegger movie!"
Most of the forum members here seem to be generally well-educated which is in contrast to what George Galloway found in the Big Brother House where he lamented nobody seemed to have any idea about politics or the surrounding world.
So, are we cyclists smarter than other sportsmen (as opposed to say footballers) and why would that be so?
I am a fucking genius, you buck the trend.

Ha,ha,ha,haaaa!!! You haven't been on the forum long have you? Some of these guys don't do shit all day except tap the keyboard every couple of hours so the boss thinks they're working.

Or perhaps that's just me.
