Just Keep Pedaling Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Maybe they mean't bike + rider. I know from personal experience that taking the bike uses more of my energy than taking the car - even if I factor the enery spent on working to earn the money to buy the petrol. Long live petrol.
forkie Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I dont know... Petrol tastes so kuk I dont think I could drink a whole liter.
Iron Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I dont know... Petrol tastes so kuk I dont think I could drink a whole liter. Bwhahaha.
Fracture Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I dont know... Petrol tastes so kuk I dont think I could drink a whole liter. Excellent reply
Tiny K Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 this is a very relaive and vague statement..... did they take into consideration that energy spent to manufacture the bicycle and petrol as well as the energy consumed to manufacture their riding gear? Pointless I say
ZakAttak Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Some interesting facts Is the interesting fact relating to the Rudy Projects or the statement made?
Tjokkits Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 okay now to figure how to make low GI energy drinks from petrol
Hairy Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 this is a very relaive and vague statement..... did they take into consideration that energy spent to manufacture the bicycle and petrol as well as the energy consumed to manufacture their riding gear? Pointless I say Surely there is more energy in constructing a motor car vs a bicycle and then also remember that if you are driving a car you will also be wearing clothes so this should offset the cycling kit you are wearing.

Dunno about you but I know my kit is at least double the price of the clothes I wear...... R1000+ bib, R500 jersey, R2500 shoes
divernick Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Cars run on money and make you fat. Bicycles run on fat and save you money.
Hairy Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Nope...my kit costs way less than that, yet has many a thousand km of riding. Some of my best wearing kit has also been sponsored kit Money aside, we are talking about the energy required to manufacture and bring the goods to market. Most of my kit is ex. Velotex and its made on ct...can't say the same for my gen clothes.
