Boy, if that is the belief of most of most bicycle advocates, I'm in the wrong group. I just may move to pedestrian advocacy instead.
It looks like we are paying dearly for our failure 40 years ago to get bicycle education into the elementary schools. Now we have 2 generations of bicycle advocates who have no faith in the value of education. That's depressing.
The way I see it, the lack of faith in the value of education is just one item in a false set of beliefs that is the cause of most of the problems that bicyclists encounter. For more, see the
