Carbon Time Bike
How far would you have to cycle on a bicycle to offset the carbon footprint produced in making the bike?
Lets assume the alternative is a car with average miles per gallon (say 50mpg?). Every time you use a car you increase your carbon footprint. Using a bicycle contributes absolutely nothing in terms of carbon output. There IS however a a carbon footprint produced when making the bike, I don't know what this is.
My question is how many MILES would you have to cycle on a bike (as opposed to driving in your average car) for you to offset the carbon footprint made when producing the bike?
