You can say that again:

"... cost-benefit analysis of investments in bicycling in a
US city shows that such efforts are cost-effective, even when
only a limited selection of benefits is considered."

... and:

"The data support the need for well-connected neighborhood
streets and a network of bicycle-specific infrastructure to
encourage more bicycling among adults. This can be accomplished
through comprehensive planning, regulation, and funding."

Out of curiosity, how "cost effective"? Are there fewer medical
claims? Better air quality? Cheaper roads?
