I’ve always argued this wasn’t the case and that motoring is a worse transport mode because of the associated externalities, not because of anything inherent to the users.

But you can’t argue with the scienceTM!

    That’s true! I have lots of friends that do competitive cycling and they’re all nice people. When they train, they avoid cities.

    The problematic ones are those who run red lights, who cut and curse at recreationsl cyclists in city bike laces while going 50km/h. They almost always wear skin tight shorts and an expensive-looking helmet.

    That being said, I think we can agree that every generalization is bad!
