Further to this article from yesterday, a reader on the NEDoD mailing list reported this morning that an acquaintance on another list is a friend of Neil Steinberg. This acquaintance described Steinberg as "a bit of a prick", and offered the following interesting little tidbit:
"[Steinberg] picked up the factoid from a nurse when working on another column, and he sold his bike not long ago because he was too scared to ride."
So now perhaps we have a measure of insight into why Mr. Steinberg has it in for motorcyclists ... is he perhaps a little resentful of the fact that other riders have more cojones than he does?
