Cycling like the Dutch would slash the world’s carbon footprint

@lightweight @BrentToderian That’s somewhat interesting but the problem is it’d be borderline impossible for rural folks. It would be more interesting to see what the figure is if all city dwellers switched to cycling.
@koherecoWatchdog the vast majority of us are urban or suburban. Prime territory for cycling and other active transport. @BrentToderian
