Ed Orcutt wrote in a Feb. 25 email to that owner, Dale Carlson, who shared it with the Los Angeles Times. “That means the act of riding a bike results in greater emissions of carbon dioxide from the rider. Since CO2 is deemed to be a greenhouse gas and a pollutant, bicyclists are actually polluting when they ride.”
