What do you all think about the admittedly somewhat crazy idea of having various HMOs fund cycling infrastructures in whole or in part? As strange as this sounds, it might actually make sense for the HMOs since increased cycling leads to decreased obesity and illness, and therefore equals less cost for the HMO. IMO it would be interesting to crunch the numbers (IIRC I saw an article yesterday about the staggering cost in dollars of obesity on the health-care system) to see whether it would make sense or not.
