| This is wonderful to see. It’s sad how such an old technology, that can fix so many urban problems, is overlooked in most of the developed world. - Childhood obesity (around 30% in some areas of developed nations) - Independence for children (meet friends, get to school, etc.) - Time poor “taxi service” parents might save 1hr+ / day - Congestion (bikes can be even more space efficient than buses) - Air quality (many developed cities exceed WHO guidelines - Money saved on car payments for the poorest in society. This is a huge burden. - Independence for those too old, with a disability or medical condition that prevents driving. Did you know many epileptics are not legally allowed to drive? - City saves money on road repair etc. Road damage is a power of vehicle weight. - Local shops favoured over out of town, big box etc. |
