Thank you for posting this. I LOVE John Forester. Hooray for John Forester. I so wish he were giving a talk on the East Coast.
I agree with what he says about the difference between cities like Amsterdam and American cities. Would love to arrange a conversation between him and Mikael Colville Andersen.
It's nice to see a positive comment about JF. I haven't met him, but a number of my friends are good friends with him.
A conversation between him and Mikael Anderson would certainly be interesting! I understand he debated Anne Lusk a few years ago in some public forum (maybe a pro bike/pro walk).
All American cyclists who enjoy the liberty we have, owe a debt of gratitude to him. He has fought the good fight in many arenas, and it is a wonder he can be found in good humor at all!
My feeling is that much of the dislike of him has more to do with the tone of his writing than the content. Especially the women I know bristle at the way he phrases things and even take issue with his discussions of "lady friends" and the role of cycling in relationships in Effective Cycling. I see what they mean, but I do not think it is offensive or sexist; rather endearing actually.
