The problem, of course, was that the research available at the time already supported UCLA’s recommendations, but Forester wasn’t going to let that stop him. Instead, he wrote the book Effective Cycling, where he simply told readers the research was on his side, while also misrepresenting studies and going on long-winded rants. And when researchers published newer studies that also showed Forester was wrong, he pretended they didn’t exist.

Sounds reeeeeeeeally familiar.
