I needed new brake pads for my bike. 2 options: - At Amazon. - At the local store, which costs 30% more. I do not want the local shop to close; that’s why I do not mind paying those 30% extra. It’s not always about the money, but also about keeping local businesses alive.

@natalia_barbour Some studies suggest that bike commuters often spend more money at local businesses than car drivers, which is logical. Therefore, cities that encourage cycling are offering a valuable solution to support small local businesses facing challenges.

@modacitylife That’s what motivated me to start cycling to work – the convenience of taking my bike on the train. With the train often overcrowded, opting for a folding bike was the best decision. Plus, sometimes I can use my folded bike as makeshift seating, which is an added bonus.

In a society that has long equated progress with more concrete and cars, it’s time to reimagine our cities. The local bakery isn’t out of reach; it’s our infrastructure that needs to evolve. Promote biking and micromobility; make short trips a delight, not a drive.
