Bicyclists Save $4.6 Billion By Riding Each Year




To put the punctuation on an incredibly successful 2012 Bike to Work Day, the League, Sierra Club and the National Council of La Raza released a fact sheet highlighting the economic benefits of bicycling. New data analysis by the League found that, every year, bicyclists collectively save more than $4.6 billion by riding a bike instead of driving a car. The release also spotlights the tremendous gas savings that could be achieved with even small shifts in travel habits and the need to make bicycling a safe and accessible option for all U.S. residents.
