You can bet all those car users also ride bikes though. It's just very common in the NL to live in one city and work in another, things like that. I know people who have cars they use to go to work and back and then take all other journies via foot, bike or public transport.

In short it's not an either/or thing.

Lol sounds very car-centric to me, commuting to work by car. ;-)

		Peter Jacobsen (2003) analyzed multiple datasets and found that the risk per cyclist decreased as the total number of cyclists increased. He observed this pattern across intersections, cities, and time periods. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/10574383_Safety_in_...

		Yes, if you focus on one see fragment alone then I'm actually saying the opposite of that I said. But being car centric or not doesn't even matter here. The argument that car owners don't think like cyclists doesn't apply to car owners who spend a significant portion of their week on bicycles.
