Here's a new article dispelling the myth that segregated facilities
generate tremendous bike mode share.

Unless motoring is actively dissuaded, almost all people who have cars
will drive cars.



This is a hot topic in Australia at the moment. The largest
recreational bicycling organisation (Bicycle Network), is conducting a
review of their helmet policy which currently is in support of mandatory
helmet laws.

The helmet law supporting researchers (Jake Olivier, Raphael Grzebieta,
Soufiane Boufous, Rebecca Ivers, Royal Australian College of Surgeons,
etc.), are all trying to "move on" from discussing helmet laws, spouting
the need for protected biking infrastructure. They know the health
benefits of cycling, but reject the evidence that the helmet law stops
many people from cycling. They think that by building infrastructure
that somehow cycling will blossom regardless.

Fools.
