I am a VC advocate & I am OK
I sleep all night & I ride all day
I cut down bike lanes, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory
On Wednesdays I go shopping
With my Toyota Prius, wife and kids
I am a VC advocate & I am OK
I sleep all night & I ride all day
I cut down bike lanes, I skip & jump
I like to ride in 50mph traffic
I put on silly clothing
And hang around in bars
I am a VC advocate & I am OK
I sleep all night & I ride all day
I cut down bike lanes, I wear funny shoes
Suspenders & a helmet
I wish I could be a big Mack truck
Just so I can get some respect
With apologies to Monty Python

VC advocate must not wear a helmet. I have never seen a car driver in a helmet.

Yes it can. :D
does this mean all extreme VCers might be cross-dressers? not that there's anything wrong with that.

An example of VC Advocacy's scientific approach and logical reasoning?

I nominate HH as Sir Bedamere and JF as King Arthur :D

It’s what my kids call me and how they explain their car free dad to other people and I thought it was cute.

Actually, as a vehicular cyclist, I'd think the appropriate Monty Python sketch for the anti-VC crowd might be "Brave Sir Robin".
I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here's my handle, here's my spout
When I get a steam up, I will shout
Tip me over and pour me out
-----
I'm as free as a breeze
And I ride where I please
Saddle tramp, Saddle tramp

Exactly! I would only add that they get away from the argument clinic when they are debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

Hmm it has potential…
Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!
…
Bravely he took the MUP, when traffic got too much

EVERYONE sing now:
Every lane is sacred.
Every lane is good.
Every lane is needed
In your neighbourhood.
Every lane is sacred.
Every lane is great.
If a lane's not painted,
God gets quite irate!
:D

Right, that's it. I've warned you before. This thread is getting seriously silly and it has to stop.
Actually, the proposal for VC begins take on less credibility than this idea:
