the tweet below is sarcastic:
but if you think about it - this is what City Planners unironically want people to believe.
they want you to think that parking lots can consume the entire surface of the planet.
because if you don’t believe that you don’t really have a reason to oppose parking lots.
a video shows a gigantic bike path used by nobody next to cars stuck in traffic because their lanes were converted into said bike path:

the “video camera study” probably either observed that cars broke the speed limit more often than bicycles or that car drivers were more often on the phone than cyclists … and from there they extrapolated the rest …
it’s funny how Urbanists simultaneously claim it is an advantage of bicycles that you don’t need a license to operate them … but also that cyclists somehow break fewer traffic laws … even though they aren’t even required to know those laws nor face any consequences for breaking them … unlike car drivers who must pass a test, pay fines and possibly lose the license …
it is of course a joke. cyclists don’t just break traffic laws they don’t even know what those laws are and do not care and why should they ? they never risk fines or losing their license …
there are two take home points here:
1 - ( already mentioned ) is that Urbanists ( and TBH everybody else as well ) always lie …
2 - studies and “science” in general can be made to show whatever WEF wants it to show …
and of course on this issue of Urbanism we as a humanity are facing a unified front of professional liars at every level from NGOs, governments, media, professors and so on … it is the same as how it was with Race, Immigration, Sex, so-called Holocaust, so-called Climate Change and on and on …
