I first heard about this in an article about bicycle deaths in NYC
https://www.gothamgazette.com/city/9111-spike-in-cyclist-deaths-call-to-the-mayor-dutch-reach-new-york
Here is the earliest mention I could find:
https://www.pri.org/stories/2016-09-27/easy-maneuver-borrowed-dutch-could-be-life-saving-cyclists
Google, claims this is from July 2016, but gets the date format (10.7.2016)
wrong -- dates on this website are in American order, even though periods
are used(!)
