I indicated commute and identifying as VC. I don't really identify as VC, more as an adaptive driver. Doesn't matter what I'm driving. I drive a truck a bit differently from a car, from a tandem, from my commuter bike, and my performance bike. Performance bike and tandem I'm mostly a straightforward mid-lane driver. Commuter bike I'm slow and to the side. I don't take any guff, I expect people to stop at signs, etc.

I'm never really sure what counts as VC. A bike is a vehicle, so I'm not sure how you can not be VC. Just effective or not effective! I probably don't really get the whole VC argument. I just ride effectively.

I probably ride more VC when commuting than most of the urban cyclists I see. I'll be lane center 80% of the time. At the blind spots I go far right so motorists can get by without passing close to me.

I obey the stop signs as diligently as the average motorist around here.
