Impact

With our system we will be able to create a safe riding space for bikers. It will allow traffic to move faster without the worries of injuring any bikers.

Additionally, biking can save Bostonians lots of money. It is more affordable, and will keep the wallets of low income families intact. There is a big contrast between the prices of cars and the prices of bikes that someone has to pay out of pocket.

On average, bikes cost three hundred to six hundred dollars, depending on what kind of bike one is interested in. The most expensive of bikes can go for up to five thousand dollars, yet this is still pocket change compared to getting a brand new car. The average cost of a new car is thirty-three thousand dollars, while the average price of an old car is still about sixteen thousand dollars! You have to have great haggling skills to have the cost go any lower.

In addition to initial prices, the yearly fees of cars come nowhere close to the fees of bikes. Bikers only have to pay up to three hundred fifty dollars per year for renovations and damage done to their bikes, while people driving cars have to pay up to eight thousand seven hundred dollars per year on insurance and other annual fees.
