You can't just point to the actual page with the statistics? We'll have to take you on your reputation (what little of it is left) that NYC cycling has been increasing since 2005. The charts I saw only date back to 2008. > Here's a good summary of some data: > > http://www.streetsblog.org/2010/04/27/digging-into-the-new-report-on-new-york-city-cycling/ Was that so hard? At any rate, this is the only comment in that article that addresses income: "Among the poorest New Yorkers, 9.4 percent bike frequently. Among the highest earners, 9.8 percent." That doesn't really give us percentage of active cyclists who are low-income. So, the executive summary is that the evidence you cite for your most reasonable claims is somewhat dubious support for your claims, and that you completely ignored the fact that your more important claims about bicycles on escalators on US transit systems were proven incorrect. We can only hope SFBC is more competent in its lobbying. --keith -- kkeller-usenet@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information
