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.

I've been a year-round bike commuter for two years now. In 2022 I rode 1,285 miles (2,068 km), of which 905 miles (1,456 km) were for transportation (commutes, errands, etc.).
