“What could be the cruel truth of life that must be told?
Bicycles are the ultimate evil.”
The CEO of Euro Exim Bank Limited shocked economists with these words:
“Bicycles are a scourge on a nation’s economy.
People who ride bicycles don’t buy cars or take loans to buy bicycles.
They don’t pay insurance.
They don’t buy fuel, nor do they pay for maintenance or necessary repairs.
They don’t use paid parking lots.
They don’t cause major accidents.
Multi-lane roads are unnecessary.
They don’t gain weight.
Furthermore, healthy individuals are a negative, not a benefit, to the economy.
Healthy people don’t buy medicine. They don’t go to hospitals or doctors.
They don’t contribute positively to the country’s GDP.
On the flip side, for every McDonald’s restaurant that opens, at least 30 jobs are created, including 10 cardiovascular doctors, 10 dentists, 10 nutritionists/dietitians, and of course, the people working at the restaurant.”
Consider carefully whether cyclists or McDonald’s are better.
It’s worth contemplating.
P.S. People who enjoy walking are even worse for the economy. Pedestrians don’t even buy bicycles.
