can hammer together a fast and dirty (but not too dirty) set of indicators

hope you will give it a try. My concern is not to let the whole thing get too
long or too complicated. Otherwise, as we say in the language we tend to speak

until very recently and in almost all cities been considered barely a detail as
a daily mobility form. But, and suddenly and strange enough for most of us, it
is starting to pierce into the mainstream of transportation, let’s call
it new mobility policy and practice. In a fast expanding number of cities, it
is no longer trivial, and because of rapid evolution in terms of our knowledge
of what needs to be done to create safe cycling environments as well as new
forms of organization and intermodal collaboration, we now are seeing it as
significant means of getting around in our cities.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
