Children benefit tremendously by having their parents around more. Time that was previously spent gathering necessities can now be spent at home.

Walking to work can take 3 hours or more. By bicycle it’s only a 40 minute trip. This means more time spent with one’s family and money saved on transportation.

A nurse who has a bike can treat 10 patients in one day, while on foot she can see only 3. Her time is spent focused on patients, not the clock.
