IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

This is my first like on Bluesky. I like it because it is my first taste of actual bluesky thinking. That pink bluemoon caused by forest fires. I have come a long way and maynot go much further.
