How can you work as a journalist for that long and not understand a concept as basic as confidence intervals?



1. All the available data shows the number of bike commuters is down quite dramatically since 2017

2. If you're canceling your subscription to the Post because of something you read, you should look in the mirror and ask: How did I become such a whiny little **tch?


No, honey.

Not wanting to give corporations money for disseminating tripe regurgitated by shitheads is not being “a whiny little ***tch”.

Being a “whiny little ***tch” is complaining that you are being “bullied” when other posters ask you for a citation for claims that significantly differ from everything everyone else has read.

Being a “whiny little ***tch” is repeatedly using bogus arguments and misleading data to undermine any and all attempts to improve the safety and/or efficiency of traveling by bus, bicycle, e-scooter, or wheelchair.

Being a “whiny little ***tch” is accusing anyone who has a different position than you on the aforementioned issues of being a liar.

Being a “whiny little ***tch” is refusing to engage in a civilized manner anyone who raises legitimate criticisms of your misleading use of various statistics related to traffic and mode use in DC.

And so on . . .

Eh. People who live in the real world know the number of people riding bicycles in DC for transportation is up quite dramatically. And not just in DC. Some people are super upset about this, and they should look in the mirror and ask: why don't I have more enjoyable hobby than hating on people who ride bicycles for transportation?

Except that it magically doesn’t show up in any official statistics. You just have to know it in your heart lol.

1. You still don’t know what a confidence interval is or understand the importance of selecting an appropriate denominator.

2. There are absolutely no “official statistics” on the frequency of general bike usage by the DC population.

3. CaBi data is the best of what we have and demonstrates massive growth in the use of bikes and e-bikes in DC.

4. It is a good thing for many reasons that bicycle use is growing and you should be happy to learn about this.

Hypothetically it shows up in future official statistics, would that change your tone one bit?

Except that there are real time bike counters across the city and they don’t match your subjective opinion.

DDOT has ten (10) bike counters and seven (7) counters that count pedestrians and bicyclists.

Also, those counters are counting more bicyclists and pedestrians.

Not only are they showing more bikes, but that is with commuting in general being down. Even VMT is still down in the city.

Exactly the response that would be expected from a “whiny little ***tch”.

Any thinking person can see that every other source of data on bike usage is vastly inferior to the CaBi data.

Of course the resident anti-cyclist maniac doesn’t like it because it disproves his false narrative.
