Argument: A city installed a new bike-sharing program with stations located every two blocks in the downtown area. Within six months, the number of people commuting to work by bicycle increased by 50%. The city council claims that the bike-sharing program is the reason for the shift toward cycling.
Which of the following, if true, most weakens the city council's claim?
- A survey revealed that most participants in the bike-sharing program are tourists rather than local daily commuters.
- The bike-sharing stations were placed every two blocks specifically because that spacing maximizes convenience for riders.
- The majority of the new cyclists reported that they find cycling to be a more enjoyable way to travel than using the city's bus system.
- The city council also permanently closed three major downtown parking garages for renovations during those same six months.
- The bike-sharing program has required more frequent maintenance than the city council originally anticipated.
