I'm not too surprised by this since car ownership is quite expensive over the life of the car. Combine that with the rapidly increasing costs of living, high rents, stagnate wages, etc and things start to give. Not to mention the overwhelming feelings of depression, rage and frustration that comes with sitting in traffic congestion common to East Coast cities for hours on end everyday. I just wish a good, reliable rail network between cities also existed in the US.
- kazinator 11y agoYou can get a very good bike for less than the cost of yearly car insurance. Even very-discounted-for-years-of-good-driving car insurance.
- driverdan 11y agoYou can get an ok single speed bike for the price of one month of parking in NYC.
- cauterized 11y agoIn NYC, bike ridership is probably increasing at the expense of subway and bus ridership rather than car commutes (which almost nobody who lives within biking distance of their job does around here unless their job requires an automobile).
- fulafel 11y agoYou get to feel good about reducing your co2 footprint too. Top of the list for many people. (This goes even if you switch from public transit)
