"Bicycle is the slow death of the planet."
A banker made the economists think this when he said:
“A cyclist is a disaster for the country’s economy: he doesn’t buy cars and doesn’t borrow money to buy. He don't pay insurance policies. Don't buy fuel, don't pay to have the car serviced, and no repairs needed. He doesn't use paid parking. Doesn't cause any major accidents. No need for multi-lane highways.
He is not getting obese.
Healthy people are not necessary or useful to the economy. They are not buying the medicine. They dont 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!

Use Bike instead
Local fuel prices may reach the P100 per liter mark as oil companies implement another round of price increase in petroleum products this week.
In Metro Manila, petroleum products retail from as low as P74 per liter to as high as P95.95 per liter as of June 9.
But figures from the DOE showed the highest prevailing retail pump price in Puerto Princesa City, which ranges from P99.45 per liter to P99.65 per liter.
Director of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oil Industry Management Bureau Rico Abad said the DOE was not expecting gasoline prices to reach P100 per liter soon although petroleum products in the islands are sold at higher prices.
“We do not expect fuel prices to hit P100 per liter as it is sold for P88 … P80 to P90 per liter. Hopefully, if there’s a rollback, let’s say P3 per liter, we will go back to the level of P85 to P87 per liter,” he added.
