• Each US rush hour auto commuter spends an average of 50 HOURS a year stuck in traffic.
• This costs the use more than $63 BILLION in lost productivity and wasted fuel.
• 40% of all US car trips are two miles or less.
• 60% of a car's emissions are created in the first few minutes of operation.
• The average person loses 13 lbs during their first year commuting by bike.
• Just 3 hours of biking a week can reduce your risk of heart disease by 50%
• Increasing cycling from 1% to 1.5% of all trips would save the US 462 million gallons of fuel.
• In 10 miles, bicyclists save roughly $7.50 and reduce their carbon output by a 1/4 pound.

Of course here in St Marys GA it's a bit better than that. But even here BICYCLING is a SOLUTION.
