5 Economic Myths About Bicycling

We’re all rich, and poor, and freeloaders

By Elly Blue, Bicycling

y new book, Bikenomics: How Bicycling Can Save the Economy came out this week! During my research on the book, I ran up against a bunch of myths about people who ride bicycles. Like all good myths, these contained a kernel of truth. Likewise, they all miss the boat while trying to describe the reality of the pedal-powered economic revolution that’s quietly spreading across the US of A.

Myth 1: We’re rich

Myth 2: We’re poor

Myth 3: We’re cheapskates

Myth 4: We’re freeloaders

Myth 5: We just help ourselves
