It's certainly accurate to consider "the whole program some kind of big joke" - Especially in regards to a discussion about the ill-considered bicycle licensing schemes.
Hey guys, FWIW and as long as you're on the subject of Effective Cycling programs, I did notice that BikeLongBeach.org has provided some educational resources that seems to come from a decidedly "vehicular" bent. The term "Effective Cycling" is used, but I don't know if it is in the generic sense versus having been derived from Forester's work.
This doesn't address the effectiveness of Effective Cycling techniques -- it may however suggest that reports of EC's overall demise may be exaggerated. BTW, I don't have a dog in this hunt so go easy on me.
