I’ve always argued this wasn’t the case and that motoring is a worse transport mode because of the associated externalities, not because of anything inherent to the users.
But you can’t argue with the scienceTM!
I mean, just ask any cyclist for directions to a nearby place. Generally if they know they will be willing to help you out with it.
People in cars are too busy, scared, frustrated, unaware of the areas they drive through outside the main road/whatever that they’re in my experience less willing to stop and help others out.

Smartphones have reduced the need, since visitors to my town have a map in their pocket, but it’s nice to try to help. It feels good.

My experience is from Toronto lol
There we have some bike paths, but you have to know where they are if you don’t want cars to squeeze by you all the time.
