This is a bit of Maths. Lets ring some disappointments to all those greenheads who think that bicycling to work daily will save this earth.
Case in point : Formula 1
Average fuel consumption by one car on raceday : 200 litres
Number of cars running the full race : 16
Total fuel consumed on raceday : 3200 litres
Total fuel consumed over complete race weekend : 4000 litres ( being too optimistic)
Case in point : Average 2 wheeled commuter
Daily distance traveled : 20 Km
Distance traveled in a month : 25 x 20 = 500 Km
Mileage returned by humble 2 wheeler : 50 Kmpl
Fuel consumption in a month : 10 litres
Annual fuel consumption : 12 x 10 = 120 litres
4000 litres consumed in : 33.33 years
Conclusion : The fuel an average commuter would burn in 33 years is smoked up over a weekend by a bunch of motoring enthusiasts cheered up by millions of fans.
Now go ahead and sweat it out for a day on bicycle and proclaim that you saved your dear earth!!!
