Gorgeous picture of Hampton! You captured the true essence of its beauty day in and day out! Like you, as a Hampton resident, I enjoy all the town has to offer each day. If we my kids are not surfing in its waters, then we are walking along its beaches everyday with an entourage of dogs or just my own friendly golden. Thank you for the pictures! Rose at For the Dogs, NH (hope to run in to you when I am with a group of dogs. I would love for you to capture their excitement when enjoying the serenetiy of the beach.)

Godo,

Thanks very much for your input, and yes you’re absolutely right, this comparison is a bit limited in scope, leaving out driving and eating habits in addition to our commute. I also simplified the test scenario to create the results I wanted. My point is this: I really just wanted to make a comedic comparison between the two options to illuminate the energy costs of fast food. Add a bit of shock value that catches people off guard, “Wow, Big Macs use more energy than my car?”.

By no means were my intents to discourage commuting via bike. I hope this article encourages people to reconsider what they eat and provide some other transportation options.

I think I said it in the article…’If I could pass any advice I would say “Eat a local organic apple and go for a bike ride you lazy bum”’

Hello Robinson,
Thank you for your effort in comparing bike fuel to car fuel.
One aspect I often find missing in this comparison is that we are all supposed to exercise anyway. So we really need to compare those people who bike to work to those who drive to work, THEN drive to the workout spa, THEN eat the Mac for their workout, and THEN drive home. And I think it is fairly obvious who comes ahead there (plus, if you buy locally grown organically produced produce, you can actually have a net carbon reduction due to increased soil carbon storage from organic farming practices). Cheers! godo

Well done Billiam. I am a big fan of the mulching lawn mower until millions of leaves fall and my lawnmower can no longer mince ‘em up small enough. Mulching lawn mowers also allow for more moisture to be stored in the lawn and less water will be needed to keep the grass green. Not sure why I thought I’d leave my 2 cents, but what the hey.
