[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]There is zero evidence that induced demand for cycling is a real phenomenon.[/b] What we have right now are cohort effects. There was a large generational population of people in their 20s who maybe cycled at university and perhaps continued cycling as they moved to cities for their first jobs. Now that this cohort is approaching early middle age (35+) and forming households, interest in cycling will decline. In 10 years the political winds will shift to meet demand of middle aged parents and a lot of these bike lanes will be ripped up to ease congestion. [/quote] There's lots and lots of evidence, actually. From all over the world, and from right here in the US. Build convenient, comfortable walking and biking infrastructure that connects to places people want to go, and people will use it. Especially in a place that's already as dense as Alexandria.
