Sanjay Thakrar, CEO at Euro Exim Bank Ltd. got economists thinking when he said :
A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy
- He does not buy the car & does not take car loan
- Does not buy car insurance
- Does not buy Fuel
- Does not send his car for servicing & repairs
- Does not use paid Parking
- Does not become Obese
- Yes,.....and well, damn it !! Healthy people are not needed for economy. They do not buy drugs. They do not go to Hospitals & Doctors.
They add nothing to country's GDP.
On the contrary, every new McDonald outlet creates at least 30 jobs - 10 Cardiologists, 10 Dentists, 10 weight loss experts apart from people working in McDonald outlet.
Choose wisely:
A Cyclist or a McDonald ?
Cyclists apparently don't help the economy

Re: Cyclists apparently don't help the economy
A friend of mine (an inveterate cyclist) is getting older and has decided -- at his wife's urging -- to get his French driving license. So far, he's forked over more than €2K to a "driving school." This is a little on the high side: usually the driving skool krew only squeeze a little over €1k out of Everykids' parents.

Just curious, do they still make "VSP" microcars? Nasty little things, I gather.

Oh, probably. There was a place near my apartment that sold them at one point, but I never saw one in the city, except in the show window. (saw one in Brazil once, though. Maybe in Alphaville, too.
) Bolloré's bluely cars, on the other hand, which require a licence, do seem to get used in the city.-

Re: Cyclists apparently don't help the economy
You need in Holland a 50 cc moped driver licence, there are no medical restrictions and only allows on local roads. Max 45KM. They are really fun to drive!
I suppose it is in all the EU the same, and there are real kinky models on the marked.
Have a look here.
