Folks, this has been known in Europe now for decades. It is a concept called 'Critical Mass' related to bicycling: when the bicycles are common enough, motorists' attitudes toward them change in the direction of politeness and care. It's because they are more likely to know someone who is a bicyclist. See the book "Pedaling Revolution" for data and details.
