Yeah...Viewfromthe42, I have to say that I agree with what you said, but the analogy you made is easy to take exception to...
I read D'Amato's piece, and wish I hadn't. Her job is, I guess, to get attention, but there was nothing in there I hadn't read before a number of times.
It's hard to understand how people feel entitled to comment on things they don't understand just because they happen to have a position at the newspaper. The notion of induced demand is well established. And it's been proven that the majority of people (I'm included among them) will not bicycle in the absence of bicycling infrastructure. When D'Amato points out that only 1.1 percent of residents reported biking to work most of the time, that's an argument in favour of more accommodations for bicycling, not against it.
