Research tells commuters: On your bike to lose weight

Submitted by don on Mon, 2009-10-19 05:39

From http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10602698

Shifting 5 per cent of urban light-vehicle trips of 7km or less to cycling is calculated annually to reduce:

* Fuel consumption by 22 million litres.

* Transport-related carbon dioxide emissions by 0.35 per cent.

* Air pollution deaths by 5.6.

* Premature deaths from ill health by 116.

* Body fat by 675,000kg, potentially.
