"the essense of the VC vision?"

From the comments section of this site:

Well,I guess that finally I've gotten an even clearer picture of what Vehicular Cycling, by courtesy of kfg.

In essence the VC vision is about superhighways integrating high speed motor traffic with bicycles and slowing down motortraffic by having the cyclists play a role of some human shields among cars - all in the name of "effective" transportation.

One may guess that its not any coincidence that the inception of this vision coincides with the era of hippies and psychedelia. Don't get me wrong; I do believe that todays lack of the political awareness, commitments and movements of that era (at least as it was in europe) is a clear weakness to the society.

The VC vision, however, does seem to nicely integrate the love message with psychedelia and, well... hallucinogens.
Could it be?
