In the recent past I'd read some article indicating that some percentage of increase in moto/scoot riders would decrease general traffic by X percent.

I can't find the article now and I am hoping it is something from an reputable source.

Does that sound familiar to anyone?

cars are slow to parallel park and take up a TON of space compared to bikes?

In a big compact city i suppose its viable, others.. not so much.
