Primary position

Vehicular cycling whether proposed by forrester and american advocates in places like portland takes a fairly militant position equates cars and bike as equal vehicles carrying equal responsibility so even support bike licensing/tax.

That is utter BS. All my foresterite friends are vehemently anti licencing/tax. You been hearing too much from the haters.

More reasonable uk has taken the 'risk management 'principles from forrester through cyclecraft and CTUK manual and has modified it, made it more british and positive and delivered through NS cycle training.
More British than the son of C.S? I doubt it. My gal Keri from Florida has made it more positive and less British with the CycleSavvy. But really the content is same. You playing both sides of the fence if you with the anti-foresterites in the US but pro-NS in Britain.

Perhaps mass assertive/primary poistion cycling on all roads wth low speed limits across towns will encourage mass cycling and make it easier to do so and more effective than segregating drivers from cyclists
That sound nice!
