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.

🧵 UC Berkeley’s California Local Government Documents Collection, hosted by the Internet Archive, makes local planning treasures accessible. The 1990 Loyola Corners Neighborhood Commercial Center Specific Plan (Los Altos) shows how specific plans help cities tailor design, circulation & development standards to local needs while balancing growth & community character.

#KualaLumpur is a frustratingly annoying city from a #transit and #walkability perspective.
Perfectly nice, clean, on-schedule trains, lovely stations, surrounded by horrible connectivity and terrible pedestrian access. It's a system designed to fail, and there's no reason it should be this bad.
@ncoca Welcome to the pavements/sidewalks of Malaysia! Malaysia's development overly focuses on roads, to the extent that they forget pedestrians have legs and lives too, and need to walk. Maybe the politicians are enjoying their wealthy life in moneyland while we are all in poverty, and we are blamed for our poverty.
