That's nice and all but biking and walking are not exactly practical for many aspects of life. These studies always make it sound like alternatives have zero impact.

No one ever puts a dollar figure to not getting smoked by a G wagon on your 5k road bike that will get stolen in the next ten mins and cops will have to run around Hastings looking for scraps. My buddy was riding a bike literally 4 weeks ago, driver couldn't see him in the sun/trees/glare and cut him off. This was a low-speed impact and will prob affect him for the rest of his life. Who wants to put a dollar figure to this?

Everything we do has a huge impact on the world, but I'm not going to set myself on fire to keep others warm if you catch my drift. Here is novel idea, why don't they take the tax we pay over and over and over again on USED PRIVATE SALE CARS. The Miata that had tax paid on it 4-5 times on more charging stations. Where does that money go?
