woah, woah, johnny. I originally adressed the innacuracies of YOUR statement:
john, your statement earlier
"I have read two (or three ?) of Pucher's papers on his favorite subject, and I have never found any information regarding cycling" is either
a)obtuse hyperbole; or
b)a blatant lie about another bicycle transportation researcher.
which one is it? is it a lie, or hyperbole?
let's look at a couple of sentences from "making cycling irresistable" and you decide if the sentence is
a) about cycling; or b) not about cycling.
"Some might assume that bicycling levels in Europe have been consistently high. In fact, cycling fell sharply during the 1950's and 1960's, when car ownership surged and cities started spreading out. From 1950 to 1975, the bike share of trips fell by roughly two thirds in a sample of dutch. danish and german cities...."
about bicycling, or not about bicycling, john?
