Economics of cycling

Great article! And the linked rebuttal by The Economist to the Cassidy rant in the New Yorker is a great read, too.... "from an economic perspective".

"For bicyclists, increased numbers often lead to increased safety. As bike paths on roads attract larger numbers of cyclists, the chance of car-related accidents declines, promoting further use. Safety appears to be a major factor for women in particular."

This is definitely true in our little suburb of St Louis. I am less likely to be crowded on my normal route because: they've gotten used to be being there or because that bike rack indicates they ride themselves.

I liked this article. It was positive and so were the comments.
