“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.”

Will be cargo biking up to Shimokitazawa tomorrow for this free showing of Motherload. Apparently there will be some cargo bikes available to check out/test ride. Can’t wait.

@kosukemiyata Saw that too!

[James Szypula @YokohamaRides]

Overhead just now. “We’d rather use bicycles than the bus to get around in Kyoto but our kids are 9 and 6 so it would be dangerous.”

Kyoto that’s a big fail.

[Cycling Embassy JP @CycleEmbassyJP]

This is sad for Japan. The most cycling friendly places in the world are some of the happiest places too. They do not have mandatory helmet laws in those places because they truly care about the concerns of cyclists (primarily safe places to cycle without getting hit by a car)

[神奈川県警察本部交通部交通総務課 @kpp_koutuu]

自転車事故の現状を踏まえ、道路交通法の一部改正により、自転車に乗るすべての人でヘルメットの着用が努力義務化されることになりました。
（この法律は令和５年４月下旬までに施行されます。）
自転車利用者の皆さん！
自転車に乗るときは命を守る乗車用ヘルメットを積極的にかぶりましょう！

Lovely day for a FIREFLY RIDE!!!

This year you can play a virtual stamp rally with QR-code keychains (Talk to Chad).

If you have Instagram and a smart phone you can even try some custom AR effects.

@NPC_TDF What's up with the rain? Looks like we will need to waterproof our FIREFLY RIDE lights.
