While on vacation in PA, I caught wind of the naked bike riders protesting oil dependency. One of the participants, ostensibly the spokesnude, said they were doing it to reduce greenhouse emissions since biking reduces CO2 emissions. I sat back in my chair, pondering. Then I realized this man doesn’t have a clue.
When you exercise, your basal metabolic rate rises, meaning that a person riding a bike produces more CO2 than someone who walks the same distance. If they were truly about fixing things, they’d do better research and come prepared. Never go in against a scientist when respiration is on the line!
