Environmental Costs of Cycling

An interesting article about the environmental costs of cycling. It argues that cycling has a higher environmental impact than driving a car. Even a big SUV.

The main argument is this: People use a lot of environmental resources. Most, for example, own a car, live in a house, take holidays on aeroplanes, etc. Cyclists live for longer, because they are more active. Every year you are alive, you will use more resources. In the short term, cycling uses fewer resources, in the long term, it increases the population of the world, and therefore uses more resources.
