Why can’t all cyclist vs driver clips be like this? Footage of cyclist apologising to motorist for hitting van goes viral… though some commentators still have to bring up ‘cycling insurance’ cycling

Cyclists pollute more than cars, claims Swiss economist

“Today everything is climate. Many want to replace the car with public transport and bicycles. They believe that the latter burden society less and are climate-friendly.

Economical cars need 5 litres of gasoline per 100 kilometres, causing 12kg of CO2 emissions, i.e. 120 grams per vehicle kilometre – and 30 grams per passenger kilometre for a four-person occupation. So, there you have it. Unless you’re propelled solely by noodles – which, the helpful professor points out, will lead to protein deficiency at some point – you’re harming the environment on your bike more than the queue of traffic on the way home from work.

“I don’t think the wand was stopping them”: Scary HGV close pass video sparks cycling infra debate; “Beautiful” or “bloody useless”? New bike stand divides opinion + more on the live blog“I don’t think the wand was stopping them” Scary HGV close pass video sparks debate on safe bike infrastructure, dangerous driving, and “discourteous” cycling cycling Bit misleading isn’t it? The cyclist was undertaking the HGV. Would need something like an antiterrorist barrier to actually stop an HGV. Wand orcas usually give sufficient nudge but bad driving should be caught by cameras and incompetent drivers removed. The Swiss professor of economics knows nothing about farming and must be paid for by fossil fuel or auto companies. Grass fed beef can actually be better than net zero, also improve soil health and water resilience compared to monocropping of grains.
