CO2 emissions higher for bicycles than for cars

Or at least a (R) says.

State lawmaker defends bike tax, says bicycling is not good for the environment

Quote:

Representative Ed Orcutt (R – Kalama) does not think bicycling is environmentally friendly because the activity causes cyclists to have “an increased heart rate and respiration.”

Quote:

“You would be giving off more CO2 if you are riding a bike than driving in a car,” he said. However, he said he had not “done any analysis” of the difference in CO2 from a person on a bike compared to the engine of a car (others have).

Republicans and science.

:rolleyes:
