This is just glorious. It's @notjustbikes utterly, comprehensively destroying John Forrester's arguments for vehicular cycling.

It included reading through Forrester's books, going to the 1970s studies Forrester cited, and finding he fraudulently claimed the studies said the opposite to what they actually did.

(For the unfamiliar, John opposed bike lanes and protected bike infrastructure in the US because he wanted to promote a macho masculine MAMIL cycling culture where cyclists ride like cars in mixed traffic on busy main roads. Then he whined that few people wanted to cycle, and that cycling was a niche activity few people engaged with.)

Apparently Forrester also claimed to be a cycling expert yet never actually visited The Netherlands.
