OTOH, John thinks educating motorists is 'a waste of time' and wants to focus solely on the cyclists.
Sure, but even education for both cyclists and motorists isn't addressing the entire transportation system 'body'. We still have to address laws for both all vehicles and specific classes of vehicles, or infrastructure, cycling specific, motorist specific and in general, etc, etc. As cyclists we tend to want to work out only the cycling related extremities of the transportation system, rather than the whole body.
