I challenge that, bicyclists who do things like run red lights seem to increase congestion.
- photojosh 9y agoAre you seriously arguing that people switching from driving to cycling increases congestion? In the face of every bit of research, ever? Although, once I got past face-palming, I could read your comment as charitably as possible and interpret that what you're saying is "bicyclists who do things like run red lights seem to increase congestion [over bicyclists who don't.]", but I think that's a stretch. I did find one counter-point, this study [0], but it's key to note that it's a simulation for a non-existent scenario, and IMHO it would be stupid to have a 10% proportion of bicycles and not have appropriate infrastructure.
