    We have bike trails in Houston, but joggers are all over them. We have a few bike lanes in downtown, but they're relatively short and they all link up to the bike trails anyway, so its functionally all the same traffic.

    Either way, the notion that bikers use 8x the social spending as walkers feels like horseshit to me.

      I could believe it - this is Canadian data and I've sure as shit seen Canadian bicyclists mowed down by automobiles on unsafe roads. I'd assume that gets divvied up between the two modes of transport in the "externalities" :doomer:
