I'm biking 'cuz I'm worried about global warming and Americans' disproportionate
contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. I'm biking so that people will think of a bike
as a transportation alternative when traveling, whether for pleasure, business, or simply
to see other places. I'm biking because cars kill people and animals and take more planet
to produce than we have to go around. I'm biking because an airline-passenger mile
produces about a pound of carbon-dioxide. I'm biking because Americans consume 27% of the
world's oil with only 5% of the world's population. I'm biking because I want to see our
country and the world without killing it. I'm biking so that it will be easier for others
to bike, and more people will do it.
Whew!
