“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.”

Will be cargo biking up to Shimokitazawa tomorrow for this free showing of Motherload. Apparently there will be some cargo bikes available to check out/test ride. Can’t wait.

Overhead just now. “We’d rather use bicycles than the bus to get around in Kyoto but our kids are 9 and 6 so it would be dangerous.”
Kyoto that’s a big fail.
This is sad for Japan. The most cycling friendly places in the world are some of the happiest places too. They do not have mandatory helmet laws in those places because they truly care about the concerns of cyclists (primarily safe places to cycle without getting hit by a car)
Lovely day for a FIREFLY RIDE!!!
This year you can play a virtual stamp rally with QR-code keychains (Talk to Chad).
If you have Instagram and a smart phone you can even try some custom AR effects.
Tomorrow is the FIREFLY RIDE.
Decorate your bike with lights and join the TOKYO ILLUMINATION BICYCLE RIDE! We meet at 5:30 at the United Nations University and leave at 6pm.
