Did you know that biking to work benefits both your health and the planet? A comprehensive sustainable mobility plan should be multimodal, acknowledging the bicycle as not just a sustainable mode of transportation, but also a healthy way to commute to work! 🚲💚 Here are some facts that will seriously make you consider hopping on your bike: 🌍 Emission Reduction: According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, if 5% of work trips were made by bike, CO2 emissions would decrease by 8 million tons annually. 💪 Health Improvement: A study by the University of Glasgow found that biking to work can reduce the risk of heart disease by 46%. 💼 Increased Productivity: Employees who bike to work arrive more alert and awake. According to a study by the University of Bristol, cyclists are 15% more efficient at work than non-cyclists. 🚗 Traffic Reduction: If 10% of the population switched from cars to bikes, traffic in cities would decrease by 40%. But remember that in every multimodal commuting plan, sharing a bus, a van, a car, or even a bike is key to achieving a more sustainable future! 🚌🌱 #WorldBicycleDay #Sustainability
