It's the now we feel most strongly, followed closely by the past. We struggle to feel the future. We try to imagine, but even when we try to be objective, our wishes, fears, feelings taint whatever we picture in our heads. Every future moment will be a 'now', with ups & downs.

We cycled along, and hit the next part of Green Lanes, home to two lanes of parking, and no cycle lanes. It was time for another signature Mark shrug. He said:
“You can have 2 of these:
~ Two way traffic
~ Parking on both sides
~ Space for cycling.
Pick two”.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it.

“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
Some costs aren’t costs.

Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.
