This post was created using OpenAI's GPT Based Chatbot. With full acknowledgement that the training of AI model's isn't the most environmentally friendly thing in the world- using them for inference (usually) has a trivial impact- since OpenAI is offering this service in beta for free, my guess is this one is trivial too. The images may have a bit more impact which is why we tried to limit them.

Investing in bike infrastructure is a crucial step in achieving this goal. Bike infrastructure not only promotes healthy and active lifestyles, but it also reduces carbon emissions and traffic congestion. With more people choosing to bike, there will be fewer cars on the road, leading to cleaner air and less gridlock. Additionally, bike infrastructure can benefit our communities and economy.

The article attempts to estimate g/km for bikes and e-bikes AND take into consideration production costs AND unlike AMG, includes carbon footprint for power generation (excess food for calories in the case of biking, and power to charge batteries in the case of ebikes).   The methodology is far from perfect, and since the AMG site disregards carbon footprint from power consumption (and production) you end up with a bit of an a...
