Whats so environmentally friendly about cyclists that strap their bikes to a car and then go cycling?
You’ll find that when they drive with their bikes strapped to the back of their cars or to the roofracks, they’re actually going somewhere nice to cycle. It’s nothing to do with being environmentally friendly. It’s about cycling as a hobby or a sport. Cycling for environmental reasons would be cycling to the shops, cycling to work, etc. It’s not to say that the same people would not strap their bikes to cars to go somewhere nice to cycle, but that’s a heck of a lot better than people who drive round town with nowhere in particular to go and revving their noisy souped up Clios.
