On today’s live blog: Cyclists are harming the planet more than cars… by eating so much beef during rides, says Swiss economist (yes, really) Plus: Pleasant cyclist-driver interactions, Arty bike stands, How useful are traffic wands? + more cycling

Cyclists can be up to four times more damaging to the environment than cars… because of beef and milk, apparently.

Even when the official stats suggest that people using public transport and bikes are more beneficial to the environment than motorist, Eichenberger argues this is “largely due” to the organisations’ “creative accounting” and “official tricks”. Cyclists consume around 2500 kilocalories per 100 kilometres during normal riding. They have to compensate for energy and muscle consumption through additional food intake. So, they would need about 1 kilo of beef for the 2500 kcal. This causes them to produce 13.3kg of CO2.
