What is off base is the claim made by Forester and his disciples (including numerous LCI devotees) that VC/EC training will reduce accident risk for the trained by a staggering 80%. All without a lick of evidence of any actual measured results for "trained" students. Or even identifying, let alone measuring any population of cyclists who are
vehicular cyclists.
Again, wildly exaggerated claims of positive quantitative results are repeated by VC training proseltyizers as a mantra. Again Genec and crew constantly jabbering about the "need" for this so-called
cyclist training to be incorporated into schools or forced on unwilling/unappreciative students without a lick of explanation of the actual value that such training will provide to anyone but the instructors.
