My colleague Felix Wadewitz convinced me: He dealt with the question of whether all the construction of cycle paths is worthwhile.
Why pay a lot of money for new cycling infrastructure when probably nobody will ride after the first autumn or winter storm?
But his research found:
Where investments are made in good, safe cycle paths, people not only get on their bikes for summer excursions, but also use their bikes every day.
On the way to school, university or work.
And above all: in wind and weather.
When I've found the pump, I'll look for the rain jacket right away.
It is worth a try.
