QUOTE (headline):
Data From Millions Of Smartphone Journeys Proves Cyclists Faster In
Cities Than Cars And Motorbikes
ENDQUOTE

Do they really mean "in cities", where the word "in" would be better
expressed as "within"?

Or do they mean "in city centres liable to congestion, especially where
traffic is deliberately hampered and hobbled by the highway authority"?

The reason I ask is because it is possible to envisage a journey within
a city area, for example:

(a) Sylmar to Irvine (Los Angeles), 77+ miles along the I-405
(alternatively I-5), or

(b) Speke John Lennon Airport to Maghull (Liverpool) 18+ miles along
A562 / A5300 / M57 / A59, or

(c) Katy, TX to McNair (Houston (TX)), 50+ miles largely along I-10...

...all of which would be far quicker by car, despite the existence of
non-motorway/freeway routes just as direct (or even more direct) as
those mentioned above.

I have only asked in relation to locations and routes with which I am
familiar. I have no doubt that plenty of others could be identified.

Probably it means In General, not that /every/ journey would be faster by
bike. Sheesh.

If it *does* mean "in general", as you suggest, it is nonsense. Most
journeys are not along routes where the highway authority seeks to
prevent movement, even in cities.

I liked the ihe illustration, which showed a cyclist delivering pizza,
or something, anything, on a bike.

Of course, that McJob makes him Considerably Richer Than Yow.

Proof that in the centre of some crowded cities only fit young
antisocial bicyclists willing to disregard traffic laws, red lights
riding on pavements or whatever else suits them can reach their
destination carrying a small pizza as sweat soaked smelly creatures a
few seconds quicker than someone on a motorbike.

I think we all knew this.

We all know this as well!

No one is interested in your domestic situation.

What do Canadian Airports have to do with it?

Thanks greatly for that excellent compliment, coming from YOU
Especially as it has come from YOU.
Now please vomit in my direction the further excellent honour of smarmy
lagerlout git, bloody woofter sod, pillock, and grotty wanking oik
artless base-court apple-john.

After all I ride a bicycle, a very convenient delightful economical
viable means of transport, and we all know what YOU think of
bicyclists.are the fuckwitted pits of humanity.

It really is a very great compliment to be called low life poverty scum
by YOU.
Especially by YOU.
And I have no fucking interest in looking good in YOUR eyes.
After all I ride a bicycle.
And we all know what YOU think of bicyclists. You think they are the

And because it is YOU who think that, that is an extremely great
compliment.
We must be doing something right.

[Peter Keller]

How can that be?
That hagfish Pounder blurts till it is purple in the face that he is

[Peter Keller]

I did not know that hagfish could piss.

No non-fit social cyclists in the group mentioned - they were all Uber
riders, a group of predominately young male riders noted for their
aggressive thoughtless behaviour and dangerous riding.
