    They concluded that while every kilometre costs €0.50 to drive, it only costs €0.08 to cycle.

    "In many cities of the world, bicycle infrastructure projects are implemented to foster more sustainable transportation systems", said Gössling. "However, such projects have often raised questions regarding their public funding, as they entail considerable costs".

    "The cost-benefit analysis in Copenhagen shows that investments in cycling infrastructure and bike-friendly policies are economically sustainable and give high returns."

    Positive, I think, to see a good factual article promoting active travel in a paper which tends to be on the conservative side. Maybe they snuck it in to the men's section to guage opinion before they go all radical on their main readers :-)

    Does the cost just mean cost to the users or cost to society?
