john's wacky theories do not make sense. There are MANY bicyclists- that know full well how to ride 'according to the rules of the road' that understand bicycling infrastructure can be a benefit to bicycling in communities.
I hypothise john foresters' claims of 'competant or incompetant' bicyclists is flawed and does NOT accurately represent the bicycling public.
There are many, many bicyclists that 'understand how to bicycle according to the rules of the road'
that will not ride all roads all the time.
'inferiority complexes' have little to do with personal choice regarding safety while on a bicycle.
vehicular bicycling is smart, aware bicycling, including use of bicycling infrastructure when appropriate without judgment or political analysis.
remember, bicyclists like john can ride in bike lanes in cities like lemon grove as a vehicular bicyclist, riding according to the rules of the road for vehicles. slower traffic keep right....
forestorite VCism- cult of personality, a politically polarizing ideologue that attempts to find fault with those that disagree with the foresterite POV.
