Sometimes the NYT's style guide is silly. They use "S.U.V."
Puntation Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Turn down the sound if at work.]
There's lots of reasons people buy an "S.U.V." or a "C.U.V." Sometimes utility even has something to do with it.

I've heard of the smaller wagon/car/SUV types being classed CUVs by some manufacturers. It's supposed to be an SUVish looking thing, but with wheel front wheel drive and unibody construction. I don't think it's taken off in common language that well, though.

Sorry, I thought you were correcting me.
Per the N!Y!T! style manual, I believe the correct identification is "Mr. SUV".
As to my typo, let's just start calling them "punk marks". Much easier to spell.

Thanks for sharing the article.
It'll likely be a very long time before a comparable sized US city ever reaches those numbers for bike usage.
It'd be interesting to know what happens in Copenhagen to an at fault automobile driver that injures or kills a bicyclist.

It's only been unpleasant yet, last year there was even a Russian complaining about the cold when there was only a one degree freeze on a moist day. Watercold is the translation, it doesn't even have to rain and it does feel like it goes straight for the bones. This mass cycling isn't all fun, it's a matter of just putting up with it too, with or without a Christiana bike.

Ithacate by the way is where it barely rains, but umbrellas are worthless because the rain just hangs in the air. (Precipated fog?)
Next time I hope to get to a tiny place.

Bone chilling is the American translation of Waterkoud.
