This is a circular argument that only ended because VC has been such an utter failure as a doctrine. I'm out.

And the logical fallacy is that if the vast majority of cyclists ride FRAP, then of course we can expect a majority of accidents to occur on the right of the road. It doesn't mean we'd be better off or even as well off if more people habitually rode in the lane. There would just more cyclists getting hit there.

I don't have any problem making myself seen on the right side of the road, and I do that by adjusting my position appropriately, including quite frequently taking the lane. All this extremist "riding on the right is bad" and "it's our road" rhetoric is just so much absurd noise echoing from a dead movement.
