It's World Bicycle Day today!⁣
⁣
"Bicycle is the slow death of the planet."⁣
⁣
A banker made the economists think this when [they] said:⁣
⁣
“A cyclist is a disaster for the country’s economy: [they don't] buy cars and doesn’t borrow money to buy. [They] don't pay insurance policies. Don't buy fuel, don't pay to have the car serviced, and no repairs needed. [They don't] use paid parking. Doesn't cause any major accidents. No need for multi-lane highways.⁣
⁣
[They are] not getting obese.⁣
⁣
Healthy people are not necessary or useful to the economy. They are not buying the medicine. They don't go to hospitals or doctors.⁣
⁣
They add nothing to the country's GDP.⁣
⁣
"On the contrary, each new McDonald’s store creates at least 30 jobs—actually 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietitians and nutritionists—obviously as well as the people who work in the store itself."⁣
⁣
Choose wisely: a bike or a McDonald's? It's something to think about.⁣

PS: walking is even worse. Pedestrians don't even buy a bicycle!⁣
