Of course, my main topic was that the biggie, as far as flaws goes, is that VC focuses too much on the bike lanes and too little on actually teaching people vehicular cycling.

It has no component of motorist education whatsoever, so you are left with people who rant on and on about the evils of bike lanes without taking any of meaningful steps toward educating people whether they drive cars OR ride bicycles. And thus their dream goes perpetually unfulfilled. The longer it goes unfulfilled the more the bike lanes succeed.

If you offer nothing of substance, then something fills the void. In this case, bike lanes.
