A sentence or two I found in Huffington Post recently:
"Cities and states have long urged their residents to ride bicycles,
as a healthy form of recreation and as a green alternative to driving.
Now they’re recognizing pedal power’s economic potential.
Tourism officials and cycling advocates sometimes refer to tourists
on bicycles as “wallets on wheels.”
"That’s because they stay longer in a
state and spend more per day than other tourists."
I hope this is displayed in every tourist authority and planning office in the developed world.
