Well, even in a forum, there are likely to be some people with more knowledge than other people. The discussion won't produce useful results unless such levels of knowledge are recognizes.

I guess this might apply in your narrow scope if you assume that all urban transportational cyclists are car free and have never obtained a license to drive, otherwise all it proves is that these populations suck as both drivers and cyclists...hardly headlines. Perhaps we should be a bit more stringent in our driver training, since the vast majority of our population drives, rather than cycles FOR TRANSPORTATION and the competence of both drivers, and thus cyclists, might improve, since I imagine most cyclists are also drivers...unless the assumption I stated above is actually valid."

My observations were of all the cyclists during commuting hours of normal business days. I had no means of knowing whether or not they had motor-vehicle driving licenses, but it is reasonable to assume, on the basis of population averages, that nearly all did.

When I give a lecture or a class on traffic cycling to adults, I often start by asking the participants "How many of you have driving licenses?" In most cases all raise hands. So I remark, "I don't know why you're here. You know almost all that you need to know." After a pause, I add, "The problem is that you don't recognize that traffic skills apply to all drivers, whether they are in a car, on a motorcycle, or on a pedal cycle. American society has taught you that bicycle traffic skills are something exotic, practicable only for those with exceptional abilities. You will learn otherwise."
I think the your use of "pass the standard driving examination" led me down the wrong path of concern. Indeed, ILTB's assertions are more troubling. Quite frankly, comparing people of who don't even know they are taking a test to those who have been schooled on the very subjects the test covers and know they are taking a test, can only provide results that are dubious at best, just as my conclusion concerning my civil service exam were.

Could you share with us the basis for your disagreement with Forester? I mean at a fundamental level, aside from issues of style, personal animosity, etc.

In terms as simple as possible, how do you believe he is wrong in his assessment of cyclists and their skills; their attitudes toward learning; the value and place in society of cycling education; and the benefits vs. the dangers and negative impacts of bikeways?

So you would turn a forum into a static lecture, with those of self appointed knowledge as the high priests of discussion?

This is not a straw man argument. It is the result of logical analysis of ILTB's own statements. It is not my fault that logical analysis of ILTB's own arguments lead to conclusions that he does not like to be disclosed.

One aspect of my opinion is not well received among some here, but I repeat it. Typical bicycle advocacy is such a complex of anti-motoring emotions driving a pro-motoring, anti-cyclist program that the illogicality keeps coming through.

Since one needs to pass a standard driving examination to obtain a motor-vehicle driving license, I'm having trouble reconciling your comments quoted above with your comments quoted below.

Thank you for responding.

Even when I was first teaching that subject, during the end of the bike boom, I had to spice up the course with other aspects that cyclists wanted to learn. Of course, once I got them into training in vehicular cycling, which occurred in every session, they found that they enjoyed learning traffic-cycling skills. Even so, I didn't tell them what was ahead, for that caused several to miss that session. The evidence of the failure of subsequent versions of the program says a lot, both about the few who want it, and the competence of those who operated it.
Well, with respect, this evidence just says that people don't want to take classes. Not that they aren't interested.

I disagree with their program, but I don't disagree with their assessment of the public. However, I strongly disagree with their encouragement for unskilled cycling, which necessarily is linked with discouragement of skilled cycling. I have seen far too much of that combination over the years, and I consider this to be both disadvantageous and immoral.
This just says that new riders who haven't yet acquired skills may be more comfortable on some kind of off street path. It doesn't preclude an interest in learning. Not having skills today doesn't mean that one can't acquire them in the future. A class can help run up the learning curve faster, but it's not required.

I thought this was pretty simple:

That is the so-called "standard driving examination" to which he refers. The "tested" cyclists had no idea they were being graded or evaluated for conformance with anything and had no specific reason to perform for him. Details are at: https://www.johnforester.com/Articles...s/bikelane.htm

Sidebar:
Forester uses those scores in comparison with his cycling students to show the value of his teaching methods. Those students were specifically taught to pass that specific test and were well aware when they were being tested. In fact the students were well aware that passing that specific test was required to pass the voluntary course. The correlation of scores on the Forester Cycling Proficiency Test with driving or cycling safety performance is undocumented for any population of cyclists.

Forester is welcome to correct my assessment of this "driving test" or the character of his "measured observations" or provide more detail.

Too bad that one week after joining this forum you were boasting how you chose to ignore what I've been posting. The choice is now yours. If you want to know, use the search function; or just continue to ignore what you don't want to know.

John forester, I'm calling you out. Where is your proof? I am asking you to put up or shut up, because personally I am tired of hearing about your dogma & diatribe. I also think you have no proof, in which case you should put the shovel down & stop digging the hole you're in. Or is all of this crap based on your personal experienc & emotions that would not apply to anywhere else? Oh & please stop comparing cycling in the U.S. to Europe. That is just plain dumb. It is not the same.

The author, whomever he is, has written several rather unpleasantly phrased skeptical criticisms. Rather than demonstrating what he intended, they demonstrate what is a very common situation in bicycle advocacy. That is, the author not only knows little about the subject of bicycle transportation, but possesses very strong opinions that are not based on knowledge. I won't answer more.
what, because I disagreed with your assertions/theories/mythologies and denied they were true, it means I know little about the subject and don't deserve an answer? OK, I guess that's that.

Seems to me N_C is coming out into the light! Good for N_C. The proof of hisgood intentions will be when he cheers on the mighty Lions when they take on the Hawkeyes this fall.

But don't get your self banned or moderated calling out John Forester, You'll only get the same results as if you used your Air Zound on your keyboard.

You were indirectly quoting me, but I in turn was responding to alanbikehouston's earler suggestion that we simply listen passively to what you say, and ask for clarification where we need it, but not challenge you.

I don't see that as how a public forum (or a University classroom, for that matter) should work - do you? Most experts welcome criticism and even modify their views if they encounter a good argument, which could come out of left field. Sure, nobody else has your credentials, but many of us have years of experience on the bike and exposure both to your views and that of other authorities, and some of that experience may cause us to question some of your teachings. Why shouldn't we avail ourselves of your presence to raise those issues with you?

You guys are rubbing off on me, I guess. I'm also tired of trhis crap JF is posting. I mean enough is enough already. Anytime anyone asks him a question he either evades it or spouts the crap over & over & over again.

As far as my so called helmet crusade, well I am still advocating for helmet usage. Just using more tact & not calling people names for not wearing a helmet. I'm going about it differantly. In part because of what I have learned from here, you included.

I doubt I'll get banned for asking JF to provide proof. Don't you think this is getting tiresome? I also get the feeling part of this is turned into a baiting session with JF. Obviously he took a huge bite, hook, line & sinker. I love how he claims not allowing people to post on his site is simply because it is for informational purposes. Ha! Yeah right! It is so no one will challenge him in his domain.

At least on my blog, though I have control over what responses I allow to be published or not I still allow the responses to come to me & then I decide. There has only been one I closed & prevent any more responses on. Some of the responses I got were way, way far beyond what should have been said. I won't even disclose the language used, but it wasn't from someone here. JF does not allow the responses to go to him thus allowing him to make the decisions as to which ones he wants posted.
