He's also the founder and executive director of the Skeptics Society (www.skeptic.com). He talks a bit about weird mental states he got into after cycling for extended periods in his first book about pseudoscience, "Why People Believe Weird Things". He's not without controversy, however, having been accused of sexual assault by multiple woman, has strong right wing political opinions (not that I'm suggesting that's necessarily wrong, but it does bring him controversy), and has a weirdly supportive relationship with Deepak Chopra, an infamous pseudoscience charlatan.
