I agree. It’s also important to get exercise and deal with the obesity epidemic which is a great reason to promote cycling infrastructure. It’s also important to deal with the air pollution that causes elevated asthma rates for people who live near interstate freeways. And of course, the 30,000 Americans who die in car crashes every year could have been taking public transit, cycling, or walking to their destination (yes, even in the suburbs). I find that because my point is multifaceted it is very interesting!
