-Fatalities decreased by 1/4
-Effects were seen beyond just the camera location

In 1942, in a past emergency, the bicycle’s many advantages – including its economical use of steel – made it “an essential industry.” Production of 1 ton of steel emits about about 1.5 tons of CO2. In today's emergency, cycling can do far more for us than heavy, 4-wheeled BEVs.

Emissions from motor vehicles could have decreased by over 30% from 2010 to 2022 if not for the popularity of SUVs. More pedestrians would be alive too.
