    In Belgium, we get paid to bike to work by many employers!

    0.21€ per km or so. Nothing crazy, but it increases motivation to bike to work

    Unless you live in a city, town or location with terrible (or non existent) bike laws that will put you at risk of dying from a traffic accident.

      I live in one of the largest and most bike aware places. It is still just a numbers game and luck. It certainly will cut my life short as is and disability sucks, but I still ride. No one can predict someone pulling directly into a passing car from a parallel parking spot. That level of stupid is beyond belief, but it does exist, and it got me riding to work 2/26/14
