I am not sure that the cyclist in the video is really 'Vehicular' in the sense of defining himself that way, having read Forester's book, etc. He's clearly not trying to 'make a point' by riding on the highway in the NL; if you believe what he says, he is just doing what he is accustomed to at home.
If anything, he just seems generally clueless. Not only had he somehow missed that there are (fantastic) bike paths between cities and towns, often taking a shorter route than the roads, but he can't even remember the name of the city he is going to. It's a wonder he managed to successfully get from Canada to the NL...though maybe that was not even where he intended to go! The Dutch police are amazingly patient and polite with him.
Of course the errant cyclist could be 'playing dumb.' If so, he's doing a fantastic job of it.
