These benefits increase with age. Cycling infrastructure must be attractive, safe and inviting to older people.<br/><br/>Dutch cycling prevents around 6,500 premature deaths each year, saving the healthcare system €3 billion annually. <br/><br/><a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/environment/climate-crisis/2025/06/26/bikenomics-health-and-financial-benefits-of-cycling-make-it-well-worth-the-investment/">https://www.irishtimes.com/environment/climate-crisis/2025/06/26/bikenomics-health-and-financial-benefits-of-cycling-make-it-well-worth-the-investment/</a><br/>#Cycling #Economy 2026-09-13T06:26:07Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsflfc4njda9h7pd8u7tsf7tg5safpxxrwxrqsgeqf7l6tgandhwtgzyz8hh6csv0fkyn49zuezhmzx4tmx0qy8y702ys6w4dh3js4knum4cwuqx3c In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv9vnaur62wcc56f34wrn3dexfrnw83jvsf4vyxg356ceve24d4ygcu7ydd'>nevent1q…7ydd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Lovely!
