Bicycle CO2 emission

Also the production of aliments causes the emission of GHG green house gases. So even the bicycle driver can not be spared out of a CHG emission calculation.

Calculation basics

The energy usage of a bicycle driver is estimated for a MTB moutain bike driver with 30 kmh with 2590 kcal / 100km

A study about Eine Studie über die CHG emissions be producing aliment is the next part of the calculation.

Aliment	CO2/kg	kcal/kg		CO2 emission (GHG equivalent)	g/km
Beef	13,303	1600			215
Beef bio	11,371	1600			184
Pork	3,247	1600			52
Pork bio	3,038	1600			49
Milk	0,938	690			35
Cheese	8,502	4000			55
Yogurt	1,228	740			49
Eggs	1,928	1600			31
Bread	0,655	2375			7
Tomatos	0,327	160			53
tomatos bio	0,226	160			36

Bicycle driving may be healthy and good for fitness, but it is only the great climate friend at people eating grain.

At many aliments is the CO2 emission in the range of an electric scooter powered by a coal power plant. At beef even more CO2 equivialent GHG emissions than at most cars.
