It is painful to agree with you. But i can't see how any rigid cycling dogma would work under every circumstance. I get beaten up around here enough, but my dogma is really "anything goes" within the confines of the individual cyclist's sensibilities. If you believes it makes you safer, do it. In my vast cycling experiences, I have tried everything, and continue to select from a wide menu of techniques, some of which are just not possible for the average cyclist.
Do we really want every sub-10mph cyclist in the world cycling VC style? You think motorists are pi$$ed a us now?
Too many variables involved to preach any fixed set of rules for cycling nationwide (USA). Therefore, statistics can not exist regarding VC.
