Quality of life
Reduction of time spent in autos
Tighter bonds with neighbors and community members (you see people when you are walking)
Less death and injury due to autos.
Cleaner air
Better health from exercise
Less noise
Higher real estate values (almost immediately)
More green space for trees
Better commerce opportunities - you can walk to a restaurant, have a few drinks, and walk home.
More equitable. People without a lot of money do not have to rely on cars.
Better financially. Save and invest money otherwise spent on vehicles.
A feeling like you are 10 years old again, zooming around on your bike, even if you cheat a little on the hills with an e-bike.
