 There are many fine men and women who could speak to why you should commute via bicycle. They are out there every day proving that we can all contribute to our own health and the health of the planet. I am not one of those people.

To date, efforts to study the health effects of inequality in transportation have focused on crash injuries, noise-related stress and social disruption, pollution exposure, social isolation in high traffic neighborhoods, and difficulty accessing medical care by those who are transport disadvantaged. A 1999 World Health Organization study of mobility concluded “Exercise levels, social contact, and access to services in children, the elderly, the ill, and the poor is inversely related to the societal level of motor vehicle usage in all countries.”

A friend of mine once told me his definition of insanity: “doing things the same way and expecting a different outcome.”
We, collectively, the people of these United States , we are insane. We must be; how else can you explain our willingness to accept the death each year of over 40,000 people (with millions more sustaining serious injuries) in traffic-related crashes with nary a shrug? Though we mourn each death as a tragedy, no one seems to be interested in actually changing the behavior or street design to change this outcome this year or the next.
