It starts with, "You're late for work and in a hurry, but there's a bicycle in the middle of your lane, holding up your progress." And then the advice is that bicyclists should always be next to the curb. Well, that solves that problem (except for the gazillion cars holding you up).

They lobby for bicyclists and other alternative transportation. AAA is completely contradictory from chapter to chapter. Here they try to advocate for bicycle's while in D.C. they lobby against bike paths (http://www.bikeleague.org/blog/2010/05/bike-lanes-on-pennsylvania-avenue/). I've interned at Better World Club in Portland Oregon so I am not completely unbiased, but I also know that they are a good company. Better World Club is a green alternative to AAA.
