In Copenhagen, one-third of the people ride bikes to work or school. They cycle more than 750,000 miles daily. The cycling superhighway is being built. Each mile of bike highway will cost about $1 million. As more people switch from driving to biking, it will have a direct impact on the environment, health and finances.

The bike highway is predicted to save Copenhagen’s health care system approximately $60 million a year. Let’s do this in Las Vegas. It would be healthier and safer, and it would cut down on the accidents in our city. We need to save our environment, health and finances.
