“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” My interview with @modacitylife.com #CityMakingMath
Opinion: Why more urban cycling saves everyone money | Urbanized
The resulting benefits of a ‘car-less’ household are myriad, but few are as quantifiable as the money most people sink into a depreciating asset that sits unused for 95% of the time.

Cars in cities are an invasive species. When you don't solidify infrastructure to protect the integrity of active mobility, it will be hampered by multi-ton vehicles driven by entitlement to space.
In the past a flex post was here to “protect” the bike lane. The driver seemed surprised to see me biking here

"To re-establish power, to defend sovereignty, and to strengthen democratic values, Canada and its allies must do more than challenge the American state. We must also confront the influence of US corporate power, the ultra-wealthy, and the ideology that continues to serve their interests." #cdnpoli
Mark Carney is right to say that the old order is not coming back. But where his remarks fall short is in their insistence on answering the crises of our time through the lens of neoliberalism—an ideology that has, for decades, hollowed out the very sovereignty he now claims to defend.

“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.

Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

If we had a halfway decent opposition party in Canada, they’d endorse the words Carney used today, and then hammer him relentlessly on implementation or lack thereof.

What about "the cold makes it easier to defend and hold our position against an attack" people?
people who live through Canadian winters are either "the cold makes me feel alive" people or "the cold makes me want to die" people and that first category is absolutely not to be trusted imo
