You don’t have to be a “cyclist” to support safe bike infrastructure in your city. You don’t have to ride bikes at all. You just have to understand the FACT that bike infrastructure makes getting around easier & safer for EVERYONE, saves us all public money, & makes cities generally more successful.

Elon Musk’s team posted an online “wall of receipts,” celebrating how much it had saved by canceling federal contracts.
