Not just that, but it also puts significantly less wear and tear on the road vs cars.

And that translates to lessened pollution from concrete dust. The roads wear down, and when they do, it gets into our lungs. Yet another benefit of switching to bikes.

And that’s even before considering the decrease in dust/pollutants from repaving like you mentioned:

You could dedicate a few roads to bikes, or bikes and buses, and potentially repave way less often.

Every time we re-pave, we spew a shit load of concrete dust/pollutants into the air we breathe. The less we do that the better.

Plus less concrete means less CO²
