my question is:

If a vehicular cyclist chooses a more enjoyable route, it is personal choice, but if the average bicyclist chooses a more enjoyable route, it is incompetancy??

I dispute the notions embodied in the vc dogma.
Who is Jihad Johnny and could you either quote or link where this was said please? The incompetency bit, that is.
