Jack, as usually, you are right!
Bicycles have no chance in comparison to walking regarding their
ecological impact.

Overall impact, possibly, but in just energy consumption terms, cycling
is much more efficient than walking.

Your original claim, that bicycles might be as low in energy consumption
as cars is a masterpiece of ridiculousness - making intelligent design
seem respectable in comparison.

Part of smart growth buildings these days in the USA is to include
showers, clothes washing services and chaning rooms in eco-smart
buildings
so bike riders can enter the business world in proper clothing. Europe
has
many fewer hot days than we do in the southern part of the USA.
Nice post Conk, nevertheless wrong location of the thread.
Yes you are probably true regarding moist and heat in the south. But
please do not compare apples and pears. Europe is not of singular
dimension, it has quite a respectable N-S extension and has very hot
places in the south too.
So compare e.g. New Orleans to Napoli or Boston to Hamburg.

New York is really opposite Madrid on the maps.

I was thinking more climate-wise, not latitude-wise.
