Check out this very thought provoking article written by Elly Blue for the grist.org website (their logo tagline says "A Beacon in the Smog") about the real "cost" of cycling versus driving. Food for thought the next time we hear the inevitable grumbling about cyclists and wheel tax.
A line from this article was the subject of a Tweet that got my attention: "Every time somebody gets on a bicycle instead of in a car, the city saves money."
