More importantly, Mr. Forester tried to use dedicated bike paths like a freeway, trying to maintain 30mph and only dodging obstacles. Because he almost had a few collisions, and he claims he only almost had a collision once in many years of road cycling, he calls bike paths 1000 times more dangerous.
There’s quite a few other instances of lying with statistics, and using studies to disagree with those same study’s conclusions thinking himself smarter, but I think the one time he tried to collect his own data was the worst.
Yeah, those saplings are tenacious aren’t they!
I guess there are a few places with 30+ year old pavement “sidewalks” that are cratered out too.
