New Research Shows Cycling is for Better for Everyone
A great study entitled "Orientation towards the common good in cities: The role of individual urban mobility behavior" was released this week. It's a great read. It basically says that people who cycle are more oriented towards the common good.
Cycling rather than driving was positively associated with orientation towards the common good in all models. Cycling was the only variable that was a significant positive predictor for all four facets of orientation towards the common good after controlling for possibly confounding variables (homeownership, personal income, education, sex). This research demonstrated that mobility behavior is associated with the orientation towards the common good.
