Did I read the same article as everyone else?
I didn't learn very much, and it may be that some anti-cyclist types will have read the headline and no more, and got the wrong end of the stick.
I read an article which said that although cycling in general is better for the environment than driving a car, the benefits can be reduced if you don't think about where your energy comes from. There's a bit in the end where he says he's a keen cyclist and that there are lots of other carbon benefits to him cycling.
It might not have been particularly imaginative, but the headline probably got more people reading than would have read otherwise, and if, as a result, more people stop to think about the actual point of the article (food miles) then it's not a bad article.
Or what?
