Got any stats on how many LA cyclists commute by bicycle 20 miles/day?
As already explained, that [stats about LA cyclists and their mileage] and would be a completely meaningless number, even if it existed -- and it doesn't, because no one has ever tracked miles-cycled in the US with any useful degree of precision.
So what is your reference to an LA cyclist riding 24 miles/day equaling the person-miles of 20 Danish cyclists all about? Is it just meaningless rhetoric or what?
