The basic tenets of VC I find valid today: Be visible, be legal and be predictable. I found Effective Cycling an invaluable resource learning to ride my bike for transportation. That said, Forresters beliefs that ( as I understand) only riding on roads and highways are valued.. that trails, or any 'special treatment' like green boxes, dedicated or separated roadway,etc are somehow an impediment to the integrity of transportation cycling, I have big problems with. I see little out there, and little willingness to risk name or finances teaching road safety 101.
