Yet all the VC "experts" seem to think that everyone who isn't out there pretending their bike is a car does.
I'm so tired of the generalizations, I could drop dead.
I'm not a VC rider. I'm proud to not be. I ride my bike. I'm safe. I'm visible. I'm predictable, and unless I'm on a deserted street early in the morning, I follow stop signs, traffic lights, and so on.
Oh, and despite my reckless behavior, I've never been in an accident.
I do not understand. From your description, you sound pretty VC, but you say you're not. What is the difference? If the difference is a vague attitude--people cannot discuss it intelligently. If the difference is observable behavior, we can talk productively. You say you are tired of generalizations, so please be more specific! And whatever you do, please don't drop dead--especially in a bike lane!
