An actual study showed the bike mode split in Toronto is 1-2%, not 16%. The question was skewed.
An actual study? Wow, sounds convincing. Does this actual study have a name?

Jeez, touchy.
The Transportation Tomorrow Survey (TTS). It's a pretty cool resource.
Basically, rather than ask people if they bike (lot's of people bike, just not all the time) TTS asks people how they got to work that day. That way it takes into account people who's mode of travel changes day by day.
But freeway, like transit infrastructure, needs to be reinforced in the core as the rest of the system is expanded more and more into the periphery. The additional usage that is generated by extending further and further out places more pressure on existing infrastructure further down the line. This is exactly why we need the DRL. Why should expressway infrastructure be any different?
If I keep answering your questions do you promise to acknowledge 16% of people don't cycle to work each day in the City?
To be fair, and accurate, they should use stats for those who've graduated from school and are employed. That would take out a large chunk of cyclists who do so only due to not having driver's license or the income to support daily transit or driving.
I'm, curious what is the better way to do traffic calming than speed bumps?
