To proclaim that VC is for everybody and that anyone can do it under those conditions is turning a blind eye to reality... and certainly this does nothing to promote cycling... by telling cyclists to simply suck it up and do it...
We cyclists should insist on lower traffic speeds and well designed bikeways in the face of such motorways.
Oh, I agree. But if one is insistent on going out there and riding the road the way it is today, what technique would be safer than VC?
