What's the carbon footprint of bicycling? ( Slashdot )

Thought I’d post this up, as it’s both bike related and science too for all us geeks 🙂

Interesting, quite different from the figures WMB had a few months ago. I’m not convinced they’ve intpreted the paper correctly though, also from a skim read it seems to be referring to an electric bike.

Dave concluded that an ordinary sedan’s carbon footprint is more than 10 times greater than a conventional bicycle’s

and the rest. Usual stuff about carbon footprint of human body powering the bike, I thought (tho as usual could be wrong) carbon footprint of human powered usage didn’t count coz it came from grown stuff, crops and that, not fossil fuels.
