Here in the UK we've had one of our wettest winters ever. At the same time, we seem to be as addicted to cheap flights as ever before. Will we ever wake up?

“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.” #CityMakingMath
