"A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy: he does not buy cars and does not borrow money to buy. He does not pay for insurance policies. He does not buy fuel, does not pay for the necessary maintenance and repairs. He does not use paid parking. He does not cause serious accidents. He does not require multi-lane highways. He does not get fat.
Healthy people are neither needed nor useful for the economy. They don't buy medicine. They do not go to hospitals or doctors. Nothing is added to the country's GDP (gross domestic product).
On the contrary, every new McDonald's restaurant creates at least 30 jobs: 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietary experts and nutritionists, and obviously, people who work at the restaurant itself."
Choose carefully: cyclist or McDonald's? It is worth considering.
P.S. Walking is even worse. Pedestrians don't even buy bicycles.
P.P.S. If you have read this far and still don't get it, this post is SATIRE. Reread it with this in mind.
@MarkHoltom The bastards probably don't buy supermarket ready meals or sugary drinks either.
@wyliecoyoteuk @MarkHoltom I buy instant soups for bikepacking, and yes, I do my shopping in supermarkets, because of my limited budget. It's different lifestyle. But economy still emerges... you still need resources, just maybe less of them... 
@xChaos @MarkHoltom I was 😃 joking.
@xChaos @MarkHoltom I must confess to growing a lot of my own food, and I don't buy preprepared stuff, always cook from scratch. Oh and low carb diet, so basically 3/4 of the supermarket is bypassed .
We have an excellent butcher in the village as well.
