[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to cyclists on this thread, the list of groups lying about how few cyclists bike to work and how few Washingtonians are killed by speeding drivers include:

The U.S. Census Bureau
The Washington Post
The DC Department of Transportation
The DC police department

The groups who aren't lying:

A company that rents bikes to people
A blog they like about biking

In fact, you are lying by misrepresenting statistics compiled by these entities. As has been explained to you a billion times.[/quote]
DP. What was misrepresented? Honestly would like to know. [/quote]

Nothing was misrepresented. This is what this guy does. Instead of answering the question, he pretends he answered it earlier in the thread, except that never happened (you can look). It's a way to just dodge the question. The numbers are correct.  [/quote]

The misrepresentation was addressed on the dozens of other threads on which these statistics were posted. And various issues were also detailed on this thread.

I don’t really have the heart to recount all of those misrepresentations again only for them to be ignored again, but suffice to say that you should very wary of anyone who extrapolates from samples and doesn’t give you a margin of error or tries to get you to believe that automobile accidents are always caused by a single factor.[/quote]
This isn’t very convincing, sorry. [/quote]
