Actually, traffic modelling is pretty boring for cyclists, since we generally breeze past traffic jams or avoid them. This posting from Youtube and showing www.bicyclecouncil.org (the Dutch Center of expertise on bicycle policy) models of the effects of 10% increases, and 10% decreases, in bike traffic in a city.
On the left, a 10% decline in cycling rates over the next 10 years vis-à-vis, on the right, a 10% increase in cycling.

Crap cycle lanes of Melbourne The Warrington Cycle Campaign in the UK produced "Crap Cycle Lanes: 50 Worst Cycle Lanes in Britain" (Eye Books, 2007). It documents how bad transport infrastructure often lets down or endangers cyclists. This blog provides some similar cases of misplaced investment and neglect from around Melbourne, VIC, Australia. Let's actually get workmen on site rather than producing 'cycling strategies'. You have to laugh (otherwise you would cry)
