We will say it louder for all the fiscal conservatives out there.
BIKE LANES ARE A GREAT RETURN ON INVESTMENT.
“A new cost-benefit study in New Zealand finds that investments in cycling & walking facilities outweigh the costs of building them by 10 to 1. The research found that the most important economic benefits were health gains from use of active transport.” ebikes-international.com/new…

Porchfest is best by bike! 🚲 @BikeAthens is partnering again with Historic Athens to offer free mechanical support to anyone attending Porchfest by bicycle. Text 706-249-9550 if you need help with your bike during the day or stop by the new shop location across from Athens!
Last day at our old space, check out where the new location is and donate to help support the work we do.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath fastcompany.com/3062989/50-r…
This Saturday night, we're riding bikes and giving out lights.
The 8 mile route leaves from outside the shop at 8pm. Anyone that wants a brand new set of lights can get them from us for FREE.

The commission is now discussing an updated complete streets policy, which is a big step forward -- it actually has teeth (unlike the previous one).

Never forget, a 13-year study of a dozen cities found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. As for sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. V/@StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/…
