Personally I can't imagine every bike trip being on separated infrastructure. Most likely it would serve to get cyclists through the worst traffic and act as a bridge to cycling on city streets (although most likely on safer routes).

I suspect the notion of separate infrastructure and VC may not represent polar opposities as we imagine.
