It is very easy to fall in love with a short bike or walking commute. I believe the reason so many people don’t want to return to working in an office. It’s not the office but the hellish commutes. #bikechi #walkchi

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

NOT SAFE: The new bike lanes on Belmont Avenue in Chicago are a complete disaster. They are unsafe for cars, pedestrians, & bikes at a cost of millions of dollars. They created more traffic by making Belmont one lane. They encourage bikes to pass on the right which is completely
