Why isn't this actionable? We are currently making significant public and private investments into electric cars based on their reduced emissions. Why not also invest in cycling infrastructure (beyond the very limited capacity that most US cities are currently doing)?
Because most US cities are not compact and flat as Copenhagen
That's great. Assuming the following: - Your commute is sufficiently short - You have facilities to shower and dress at work - You have sufficient time to shower and dress at work - You don't have to bring kids or sizable cargo - Weather is sufficiently good - You're sufficiently healthy

There is no evidence to suggest millions of bicycle commuters are waiting in the wings for more green paint.
I wonder if telecommuting like many are doing right now trumps everything .

Of course summer commuting in Houston or Phoenix is going to suck no matter what your bike is

- You live somewhere warm enough to bike year-round.

I don’t get it where is the emission coming from bicycle trips?
I guess you have to eat a bit more if you ride more, I certainly notice when I bike to work (5mi each way, 300ft climb) that I need to eat a bit more food. Certainly no where near the energy of a car though but its not zero. Assuming you want to maintain your weight.
The headline claim as laid out in the article: > we found that emissions from cycling can be more than 30 times lower for each trip than driving a fossil fuel car, and about ten times lower than driving an electric one Assuming we’re comparing single occupant passenger vehicles to bicycles (incl. e-bikes), this seems fairly self-evident and hardly actionable. > We observed around 4,000 people living in London, Antwer…

I am. Cycling in the city is dangerous.
