Or a VC cyclist is every cyclist until they are involved in an accident; then they are an incompetent cyclist.

I've seen the VC zealots claim every time a cyclist is involved in a cycling accident that it would not have happened, if only the cyclist had been practicing proper VC techniques. If the cyclist was hit HERE, the good VC would have been THERE, and vice versa.

With such a convenient Monday Morning Quarterback technique of accident reconstruction/ idiotic speculation it is a wonder that ANY Vehicular Cyclists are EVER involved in an accident.
