Amid the discussions about green energy and carbon capture, it should be remembered that a switch to two wheels could significantly cut emissions
People ride a bike for all sorts of reasons: they’re fun; they keep you fit; in congested cities they have an amazing ability to deliver you to your destination on time. But what about saving the planet?
