Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6 kilometres each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, the study suggests, annual global carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.
This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.
I don’t know how swearing at pedestrians walking in the bike lane more would help reduce my carbon emissions. Satisfying though.
Well in the USA that wouldn’t be a problem because people don’t walk, either
