The authors are part of a cabal that wish all countries to have MHL for
all cyclists. Recently they have published papers that, in their minds,
prove the MHL introduction in Australia did _not_ result in far fewer
people cycling, and then based on that work, in a follow up paper showed
that assuming the same number of people were cycling after MHLs
introduction, some calculated number of people were saved based on
fatalities before & after.
Now they wish to discredit prior works that claim regular cycling health
benefits outweigh risks. They will stop at nothing to further
marginalise healthy and benign active transport.
