Protected bike lanes increase Citi Bike ridership in New York City, but painted bike lanes and sharrows do not show a statistically significant causal effect on ridership after accounting for confounding factors, according to a new study from researchers at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering published this week in npj Sustainable Mobility and Transport.

    As a carbrain I also prefer protected lanes to paint

      Somehow, I feel like the definition of carbrain categorically excludes self-identification as one. Like, the essence of the word is a paraphrase of Vince Lombardi: Cars aren’t the important thing, they’re the only thing.

        So what’s the word for the weirdo who wants a dumpy, mostly broken fartbox of a car that they fix themselves who wants public transit and protected bike lanes and stricter licensing requirements so that there are fewer idiots on the road who don’t know how to zipper merge?

          Middle of the road? I bet that pun can be upgraded.

          But yeah, smarter people who like driving recognize that making other modes of transit makes driving better for those who do so.
