You repeat the claim, Bek, in slightly other words. In the study you referenced, NYC claims 34% reduction in crashes on Columbus Ave. Just how many of these were crashes for cyclists? Just how did the green paint contribute to whatever change occurred? The information was not shown in that publicity pamphlet.

You repeat the claim that "separated infrastructure" has long been shown to be safer than roadway cycling. What studies do you offer to support your claim, Bek?
