Just by driving 10 kilometres to work each day, you'll contribute 1.3 tonnes of greenhouse gases to our atmosphere each year. Now a lot of us would like to help save the planet by leaving the car at home and jumping on the old "pushie" but many find the idea of cycling in the city pretty scary. When Fiona Campbell started cycling into the CBD, so many potential peddlers sought her guidance she felt obliged to set up a "bike bus". With safety in numbers, Fiona's convoy of carbon converts is swelling in confidence.
Every bike on the road in this piece is one less car...
Think of that how you wish. Less carbon. More space for you in your car. Any way, it's a win for you.

"If you rode your bike to work even one day a week you could reduce your carbon emissions by up to 20%."
Duh! Of a five day work week, one day is 20% of it!
The whole tone of the piece was patronizing at best.
