                                        Pucher and Buehler: Cycling for Everyone
Reasons for everyone to support cycling:
•Improved mobility options for everyone

•Improved traffic safety and more livable
neighborhoods
•More daily physical activity and improved health

•Reduced air, water, and ground pollution; less noise;
less disruption of natural ecosystems

•Reduced traffic congestion, parking needs, energy use

•Reduced Greenhouse Gases (remember Kyoto?)
