Fietser@americanfietser.bsky.social · 2y agoI want to make a personal request to those of you who use a bike for transportation purposes to start taking more photos and posting them.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs aren’t costs.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

Vienna’s “Car Bet”: From May to July, households gave up their private cars in exchange for a monthly €500 mobility budget. Result: 2/3 realized they don’t need a car many sold theirs, choosing public transport, carsharing & more. More space, less traffic, better life.
