Unscientific, yes indeed, also in steep contrast to reality. Most of the metro dig sites have limited influence on car traffic, and actually the preparation work of moving sewers and utility pipes underground, before the actual metro contruction began, was a bigger disruption to car traffic, yet did not create a big jump in bike modal share. There is a scientic reason to the drop in car traffic, which is, that the car capacity limit in daytime has run out in inner Copenhagen. When demand for road space exceeds capacity, capacity drops further, as roads become over crowded. This graphic explains it: https://dropbox/s/gx78... If you review car traffic volume annually for central passages in Copenhagen, known as The harbour passage and the lakes passage, you will se clear evidence of this. High ranking city officials has agreed to this previously. At the same time as car capacity drops sharply, bike capacity increase moderately, of course this will create a stepchange!
