Monash Uni study finds cyclists less than human

[Franco Cozzo]

Face off - Cyclists not human enough for drivers: study

Lead author Dr Alexa Delbosc, Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Transport Studies (Department of Civil Engineering) at Monash University, said the insect-human scale was designed for the study because of the many informal slurs against cyclists comparing them to “cockroaches” or “mosquitoes”.

On both ape-human and insect-human scales, 55 per cent of non-cyclists and 30 per cent of cyclists rated cyclists as not completely human.
