Everyone talks about climate change and the carbon footprint we all leave behind.

One easy way to reduce carbon emissions is using a bicycle.
Even the most fuel efficient cars produce 1000′s of tons of CO2 every year, not forgetting all the energy that is require to transform all the raw materials that form the car from metals, plastics to even the ship that brings them from overseas.

Without even turning the ignition, our cars have produced 100000′s of tons of carbon dioxide.

With statistics showing the majority of trips are under 5kms, why not strap a pannier to the rear wheel of the bike and pedal to the local 7/11 or milk bar, your body will appreciate it as well as your heart
