Saturday, April 23, 2011 at 9:19AM Just saw this in a tender notice, for delivery of training in London.
This is what it looks like when people set targets that make change
"increase cycling by 400 per cent by 2026 compared to 2000"
Good to see, at last.

Here's a group turning a low impact contrail into reality
Contrails, cycling, kickstarter Thursday, June 10, 2010 at 8:39AM Great little article the Guardian yesterday - CO2 for cycling - depends of course, on what you eat. Here's the impact of cycling a mile, powered by different food
Bananas 65g CO2e
Cereals with milk: 90g CO2e
Bacon: 200g CO2e
Cheeseburgers: 260g CO2e
Air-freighted asparagus: 2800g CO2e
Fuelling on asparagus gives you a higher environmental impact than driving a Hummer. That doesn't make the Humvee good - just avoid green spears that have flown. So, surprise, surprise, when you're best off heading out on the road, load up on bananas and carbo from cereal.
PS
The 'e' part of CO2e is for 'equivalent' - taking into account the other greenhouse gases such as methane that are released in food production.
