10. Poor reporting.

So for bikes they use "study on Europe’s cycling industry, which details a cycling economy that employs more than 655,000 people in industries such as retail, manufacturing, infrastructure investment, and tourism." But for US cars they only use the number of people making cars. If they use manufacturing, selling, insuring, financing, renting, repairing, infrastructure, oil and gas and investment I know cars in the USA win big. I'm a big bike rider and would love to see more bike trails but the writer needs to be honest in his reporting.
