More on cycling

We recently discussed the effect of bicycle helmet laws on cycling safety. Now we learn that cycling itself is a hazard to the environment. According to Washington state Rep. Ed Orcutt (R-Kalama), cyclists are exhaling so much carbon dioxide that they are contributing to global warming. The representative sees a tax on cyclists as a reasonable response to generate needed revenue for road maintenance and to offset the environmental damage.

Rep. Orcutt later backpedaled on his comment after saying cyclists pollute by breathing.
