Building Bike Lanes Creates Twice as Many Jobs as Road Repairs

Is anyone really surprised at this?

After doing some initial research on Cars vs. Bikes infrastructure it's very clear that cars are extremely expensive on a city. Go to Google and type "how much does it cost to build a road?". The answer will blow your mind: $$$ millions to holy-shat-that-can-feed-a-lot-of-people $$$$ billions of dollars.

When will people start to realize the drain cars and roads have on our infrastructure? Just saying.
