“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.

1. A bike in a bike lane is one less car in front of you
2. That bicyclist could be your neighbor. Be my neighbor. (I live in Pittsburgh, home of Mr. Rogers)
3. Want to be happier? Ride a bike!
4. Two wheels, fewer pills.
Got others?

Toronto is at a crossroads. For too long, we’ve oriented our infrastructure around private vehicles, roads, parking lots & highways. In doing so, we’ve accepted serious trade-offs: poorer health, weaker communities, reduced safety and mobility for many. It’s time to pivot from car-centred thinking.

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

New from me in @breachmedia.ca: It's easy to see Ford's war on bike lanes as a personal vendetta and an attempt to stir up a culture war. But more than that, it's part of a bigger pattern of Ford serving corporate interests – from real estate firms to Uber.
Doug Ford’s new omnibus bill hides a major gift to corporate lobbyists: a ban on turning car lanes into bike lanes.
@desaima.bsky.social notes that the move mirrors demands from the Toronto Region Board of Trade. It won’t fix traffic—but it will keep oil companies and Uber happy.
