Cycling saves $$$

Although there has not been any study showing how much the average cyclist can save in Singapore, there has been a great deal of research around the world.

In the UK, it's calculated that every new cyclist just starting out on the road provides an economic benefit for himself and the nation around GBP 382 (around S$1000). Cycling saves Australia over A$200 million a year in health costs, and cyclists live an average of two years longer than non cyclists. Most importantly, it can also prevent unnecessary deaths.
