No your attempting to rewrite history, Bikeability and generally cycle

cycling which are political movements or rather where.

<sigh> Again, Roger, Forester himself said the knowledge was always

America, a land where there were almost zero avid adult cyclists between
roughly 1920 and 1970.

Nonsense. There were no bike lanes in the USA in that period, so
bicycling was done on streets and roads using common sense tactics
that Forester was simply repeating.

I don't recall seeing any bike lanes or any other bicycle specific
infrastructure prior to the 1970s. I'll assume there were none or very
few unless I'm proven wrong.

Speaking as a person who bicycled on streets and roads in the 1950s,
and 1960s. I'm pretty sure I had nowhere else to ride but on the
streets and roads. I bicycled quite a lot back then and my first
experience on a bike trail was the military ridge gravel trail in Dane
County, Wisconsin, mid 1980s.

I had no bicycle/vehicle accidents then, indeed, I've never had any
bicycle/vehicle accidents, so it seems that my common sense tactics
worked just fine.

Separating the bike path
from traffic with those stupid bend posts or a fence is ridiculous and
in my opinion, actually worse than paint.
