Hey Meaux, I happened to see "An Inconvenient Truth" recently also. It struck me as compelling with regard to the existence of green-house-gas induced global...
After months of drought, we finally saw some rain and snow in Nebraska. The moisture is great, but the ice pretty much sucks. Between holidays and ice I've now...
Hi Randy, The Ice Bike website has tire reviews for riding on snow and ice including some studded tires. http://www.icebike.com/Equipment/tires.htm Cheers, Rio...

Happy New Year to all my bike commuting friends! I think it's fun to share our accomplishments for the year, cycling- wise. My total bike mileage was 6656...
While it's a shame this happened at all, it's doubly so as the article talked of the bits of the bicycle's tail light in the car's bumper. It doesn't justify...
you could be covered in neon and there are drivers who can't see you. I've had a couple of sqealing brakes incidents when someone has seen my bike at the last...
my family of 5 emits 37,352 pounds of CO2 annually as opposed to the 41,500 pounds for an average family of 2. w00t! That's what I get for not owning a car. ;)...
Is there one for people like me who live in places where we don't heat our homes? There are a lot of calculations about heating homes there - I use the heat...
Our family (of 4) went from 35,734 to 24,843. The first number might be a bit high since we had 2 natural gas vehicles? I changed jobs and sold my car, what a...

I did over 4000 miles combined on my two bikes in temps ranging from 20F to 103F in rain, snow, fog, and hail. During the year, I killed a set of pedals, a...
From TFA >has been found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving< I don't think there is a similar charge in the States. Charges are not levied against...
We have a bit of that here. usually if you kill someone with a motor vehicle you might get a fine. The defence of 'I didn't see him' will suffice as if not...
... Not just there Shyrley, everywhere. Here (US) it seems that you can shoot a 78 year old man in the face with a shotgun and claim that you didn't see him,...
My total emmissions are 17,550 pounds for last year. I put 3000 miles on my bicycle and under 1000 miles on a rental car I get once a month. ... might ... and ...
How does one work out total emissions? I did about 500 miles in a car but that was city driving so probably more polluting than long distance. But I also used...
I didn't think of the bus and trolley travel; I guess mine will go up a little... ... car but that was city driving so probably more polluting than long ...
On the original thread I gave an EPA site where you can do the calculation. As an approximation, you can figure burning a gallon of gasoline generates about 25...

The bus is going to be running anyway and will have the same emissions if you are on it or not, no need to divide by number of passengers, really - your added ...
That's accounted for in the 'extra food' correction I mentioned earlier. The carbon for the CO2 comes from the food you eat. I'm sure it's not accounted for...
Plus I think our bodies are a little more efficient at producing that energy than an internal combustion engine. Also our bodies byproducts can help...
Well, I was kidding, but now I've learned something, too. (btw - for some of us, it's a little more than 200 lbs, but still a lot less than our Toyota Echo - a...
