I voted other.

I know people who have an excessive fear of traffic, but they still do ride in the roads. But they hop on the sidewalk as soon as they get the chance and are very vocal in their fear while riding in the street. They just can't wait to get away from the roads they fear.

I really don't understand such an excessive fear. I mean, sure traffic can be dangerous, but when I've ridden with them the stuff they are afraid of seems pretty benign to me. I sometimes end up leading a small group to ride more VC than they do, to endless heckles about how crazy and determined to die I am (but also to grateful thank yous from those who don't share such fears.)

Yes, that's true. ME. I lead the charge. I'm the VC person in the group of riders I know. I'm not kidding.

Being VC, not having a fear of traffic, and being able to navigate and negotiate traffic with confidence is not mutually exclusive with use of or advocacy for on-street cycling facilities.
