A short and sweet artice about the ROI (Return On Investment) of biking in city. I certainy hope Singaporean (gov. & ppl) wake up to this overlooked opportunity to improve Singapore even better.
Here are a few quotes:
“Odense Cycle City, an ongoing, multi-million kroner effort to improve conditions for bicycle commuters, is proving to be a good investment.”
“The programme cost the city DKK 20 million (EUR 2.68 million) and has transformed Odense into one of Denmark’s most bike friendly cities, increasing the number of two-wheeled commuters in the city of 186,000 by an estimated 25,000 per day.”
“Odense estimates that over the past four years, a decrease in the number of sick days has saved DKK 33 million (EUR 4.4 million) in health service costs and unemployment benefits.”
