"If your employer paid you to ride to work, would you cycle more? Cash is a powerful incentive and it works, nudging behavior and encouraging people to make their commutes more sustainable. Belgium introduced its tax-free cycling commute allowance years ago and has recently expanded the program." https://upway.co/blogs/news/belgium-cycling-commute-allowance #UrbanPermaculture #bikes #bicycles

The roads are not safe for cyclists where I live. I have tried. I'm not trying again without immense changes.

@Edelruth I hear you!!! 💚

Thank you for attempting to make change happen. I think the conditions are changing so rapidly that more cities might just wake up to the value of doing this.
FAR better infrastructure is needed.
