Study Finds Cyclists Are Better People Than Drivers
jalopnik.com
The results show drivers are less interested in the common good than cyclists.

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!

      Smartphones have reduced the need, since visitors to my town have a map in their pocket, but it’s nice to try to help. It feels good.

      My bike is a Dutch carbon fibre recumbent

        Ah so you help because it benefits you. How altruistic of you.

        Also, nobody asked about your bike. What a weird thing to add to your comment.

          See, we’re in a thread about how cyclists are better than you drivers. One really must declare oneself a cyclist when identifying oneself as a better person

      My experience is from Toronto lol

      There we have some bike paths, but you have to know where they are if you don’t want cars to squeeze by you all the time.
