That illustrates that street sweeping isn't the cure that some people claim.
And related, I wonder what percentage of his bike mileage is within bike lanes?
As I've said, IME bike lanes retain debris far, far longer than normal traffic lanes.
I don't know that I've ever heard anyone claim street sweeping is a cure for anything. Certainly diligent and frequent use is quite helpful, but "cure"?
I remember finding a really nice almost new 8" Vice-Grip brand locking pliers on the side of the road once (I still have it). A former teammate of mine once rode home with a waffle iron balanced on his handlebar that he found on the side of the road. He claimed it worked.
I don't think a street sweeper would have been very effective on either of those.
