What makes a Vehicular Cyclist?

I'm having an identity crisis. I've been informed by an esteemed member of our forums that I have a mental disease called "cyclist inferiority syndrome". Apparently, I said some things that made the diagnosis a "for certain" thing. Before, I guess I was like this Jeffery Hills (or something) guy who wrote a fruity piece titled "Listening to Bike Lanes". Now, I'm not like that guy at all! In fact, I might not even be a Vehicular Cyclist anymore! I think I've been expelled from the club.

So tell me, in your own words, dear readers, what a Vehicular Cyclist is. That might resolve my identity crisis. I am particularly interested in on John Forester's views. And don't point me to a Wiki page. And someone please tell me who originated this term, and when it was originated. Nobody here on this forum seems to know. I'd contribute myself, but apparently I'm confused and have this mental disease. Remember, in your own words folks. In addition to Wiki, the bicycling life page, the bicycle driving page, and the John Forester page is off limits. In fact, don't point me anywhere. Just give your best explaination.

In your own words.
