AFAIK, some of the information summarized at the end of the article is a bald-faced lie. ... Untrue. The existing statute, as published online, carries the...
The last 3 articles are a debate between John Pucher and Bjorn Haake. Pucher says that League cycling classes violate "social justice" because they cost $. Bob...
Oh, joy! On first reading I think that Pucher has made several claims that he has never even tried to support with argument, let alone facts. Bob Shanteau...

I apologize if I'm covering ground that many of you I'm sure have travelled long ago, but I'm newer to the conversation and feel the need to think out loud...
Well, us "education" folk believe, and to some degree have numbers to back us up, that education can work to make bicycling safer and more "effective" from...
I am in the process of writing detailed refutations to the false claims made by Pucher and Buehler. They have finally let loose with sufficient rope to be...

... But even then, I think it's close enough to true to say that any driver in traffic needs to constantly evaluate traffic. Of course, looking back,...
There's probably much to criticize in Prof. Pucher's response, but it would be interesting to hear his opinions on the following: Traffic legislation regarding...

Thank you Ryan, for your comments on Pucher's and Buehler's paper. I have been considering these in the reply that I have been writing. -- John Forester, MS,...
... I've quickly skimmed through it. It's mostly a mindless dump and love fest of every bicycle facility ever made. The authors show no real knowledge of...
Yes, I read through this document some months ago. Some category errors, counting cyclists swerving across motorist's path as a parallel movement crash. The...

One should be aware that these Dutch sidepaths alongside 50 mph streets are almost all intercity paths paralleling highways with almost no intersections. ... ...
