In response to a Columbus Underground post "Report Says Columbus is Second Largest City with no Downtown Bike Lanes" the author of the post below took painstaking effort to clarify that Columbus is actually the 4 or 5th largest city without bike lanes. He does have some good points in the post and touches on Connect the Core.
It's just that his title puzzles me, is he questioning the journalist integrity of Columbus Underground or Consider Biking? I guess either way the next step is to take it up with our respective editorial review boards.

Journalistic Integrity
I often try to give the impression that I don't care about stuff, but honestly, I care a lot. I care that a reader can feel assured that he/she can state facts found on this blog and be able to quote this blog without making an ass of his/herself. Sure I
I will summarize my beef so that readers who are uninterested in bicycle gossip can live their lives. A press statement (discussed below) had some inaccuracies whilst reporting on the state of bicycling in Columbus. With that said, Columbus could be a lot more bike friendly which includes increasing bicycling infrastructure.
Recently, Consider Biking has been working on "Connect the Core" which aims to add bicycle lanes or bicycle tracks downtown. Within their summary, the cost for 12+ miles of bike lanes would cost ~$140,000, this is less than what we've been spending on the bike shelters. Although I'm iffy on bike lanes, that's a relatively good price and sometimes a city should just dive in.
