"...bicyclists are actually polluting when they ride..." ?!?!?!?
Some might be polluting when they ride, but I highly doubt it has anything to do with the bicycle. Some might be "polluted" when the ride, but again... The *ONLY* POSSIBLE polluting emission a non-motorized bicycle could produce might be some out-gassing from the foam inside the seat, or MAYBE from other plastic parts on the bike. Or maybe the ridiculously slow, eons-long, evaporation of the grease in the bearings. This politician has more hot air than a three-alarm fire in a wind tunnel.
