@caseyliss I still have it, and it’s great. Brilliant for long drives in the country and it’s one of the early ones with a low range gearbox, so I can take it so off-road I frighten myself. It’s less brilliant with Australian petrol prices :-(

Using Quality-Adjusted Life Years as a metric, the cost for society to buy 1 additional year of life at full health is as follows:
Vaccines $0.1K
Bike lanes: $1K
Medicaid $67K
Dialysis $129K

Bike lanes are a sound public health investment

Every $1,300 New York City invested in building bike lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to one additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.

Drivers feel a tightness in their chest when you say it out loud…but it’s true: You don’t need cars on every street.
