“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.

There are, right now while you're reading this, 7 grams of microplastics in your brain, and most of it came from car tires.
That's 0.5% of the entire weight of your brain. Is literally car tires. And you convert more of your body to car tires every day.

Very proud of @naemas.bsky.social and my story yesterday on how thousands of the estimated 16,000 known plastic chemicals get into our food.

“For half a century, a litany of federal policies has favored large SUVs & trucks, pushing automakers & buyers toward larger models. Instead of counteracting #CarBloat thru regulation, policymakers have subtly encouraged it. That has been a boon for car companies but a disaster for everyone else.”

Dangerous, polluting SUVs and pickup trucks took over America. Lawmakers are partly to blame.

My hottest take is that letting cops park in red zones for mundane errands and coffee breaks; I think “you can break the law at your discretion as a job perk” is the small domino that ends in the large domino of “shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets”

Yes - the heavily subsidized is the preferred, but fiscally unsustainable, option. I like free beer too.

om vi låter privatbilismen bära sina egna kostnader (utsläpp av gaser och partiklar, vägar, slitage, mark, parkering, sjukvård, polis, ohälsa, osv) så kan vi nog sänka både statlig, regional och kommunal skatt.

If no oil is extracted within your city limits, every gas pump pumps money out of your regional economy.
Bicycles and pedestrians keep the money circulating.

And how much Transportation is hidden in the other categories? What portion of Housing costs is the garage under your apartment building? What portion of Food is the sea of parking surrounding the supermarket? What portion of Healthcare is car-related injury and respiratory disease?
Transportation costs are the second largest burden on American family budgets (17%), after housing (33%)!
To address the affordability crisis, we must create cities with abundant housing of all types (subsidized, social, coop, market rate) and make walking, biking, and taking transit convenient.
