Because the density of car infrastructure is too high!
Cartoon with 3 wide car lanes, a very narrow cycle path and a sidewalk that has been cordoned off due to damage. A cyclist and pedestrian argue over the use of the bicycle lane, while the driver in the adjacent lane thinks: "That space should belong to cars!".

Australia spends $714 per person on roads every year – but just 90 cents goes to walking, wheeling and cycling
Walking and cycling get 90c per person each year from the Australian government. What if that figure rose to $5, $10 or $15?

What can I do to protect myself against respiratory diseases such as #influenza and #COVID19?
What can I do to protect myself?
Get vaccinated
Safe and effective vaccines are available to protect against seasonal influenza and COVID-19.

Use respiratory etiquette
Cough and sneeze into my arm/ elbow or into a tissue, NOT my hand.

Clean my hands regularly

Wear a mask
When in crowded, enclosed, or poorly ventilated areas if at risk for severe
COVID-19 or influenza

“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 grist.org/biking/one-m...

Another reminder: Respiratory infections spread mainly through the air. That’s why they affect the lungs. Masks, worn correctly and consistently, reduce the spread of respiratory infections. Respirators work better than masks. Washing hands isn’t wrong, but it won’t stop airborne transmission.

Biking to work reduces the odds of dying from cancer by 51%! You’d think transit planners would find the hell out of bike lanes given how much money that saves to public and the government. Even “fiscal conservatives” can’t debunk the obvious societal good and savings from that. Fund bike lanes!

What if we designed our cities, and the land-uses, densities & infrastructure that make them what they are, so that daily activity and exercise was just a normal, ordinary, almost “invisible” part of every day life? It’s actually not that hard. We just have to change our priorities. #HealthyCities

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. E-bikes support fewer car trips. V/@lloydalter.bsky.social
