Rise of the Pedaltarian

The bicycle is superior to the motor-car. Healthier for people and the environment.

We should invest in bicycle culture.

Human power should be a major source of renewable energy that we look into.

Urban living is environmentally better then suburban spawl.

Less infrastructure. The pipes are bigger but there are less of them.

Safer neighbourhoods are one that keep people apart with fewer interactions with strangers. It is encouraged by having the mall a driving distance away from residences and proving parking spaces everywhere.

Urban hoods where one walks to the store encourages interaction by simply not providing ample parking spaces and not placing services so far away. They encourage interaction by providing more opportunities for frequent interaction such as multi-use buildings... warehousing in basement, retail on ground floor, office space on 2nd floor, and the upper floor residential dwellings.

The cost of living is comparable for both urban and suburban lifestyles. Both have low and high income residences. Suburban is often a more affluent lifestyle.
