Check it out - - statistics from yet another study highlighting the relationship bike sharing has on a community's health and well-being relay some pretty powerful numbers:

"Combining data on air pollution, medical costs, mortality rates, car accidents, and physical fitness, the researchers found that if inhabitants of the sample region switched to bikes for half of their short trips, they'd create a net societal health benefit of $3.5 billion per year from the increase in air quality and $3.8 billion in savings from smaller health care costs associated with better fitness and fewer mortalities from a decreased rate of car accidents." -- from Good Article "How Biking Can Save Cities Billions of Dollars in Health Expenses"

We're down with that.  Get your community on this cost saving and health improving bandwagon with some weBike!

Research is out now, proving that the launch of a bike share program (such as Barcelona's Bicing, highlighted in this GOOD article) will bring a positive net impact on the health and well-being of users.  Despite the risks of accidents and injury, the physical, mental and health benefits of biking far outweigh the potential for damage.  So we can put naysayers to rest, (not that we needed the proof), because there's facts and figures behind the positive power that bike sharing has in transforming a community.
