Even by the article you linked, it's not wrong to point out a fallacy. It'd be wrong to conclude that since the argument was fallacious, the opposite must be true, but the local man didn't say that.

I'm not an enemy of the cause, but this graphic is not very convincing. These are absolute numbers, not adjusted for the fact there are significantly more cars around than bikes.

I get that this thread started from a joke, but I think it's also important to note that no matter how obvious some things may seem to some people, the exact opposite will seem obvious to many others. Without evidence, like the study, both groups are really just stating their opinions

It's also why the formal investigations are required. And whenever policies and laws are made based on verifiable studies rather than people's hunches, it's not sad, it's a good thing!
