FAQ
Where does the 192 g/km figure come from?
It approximates the average new petrol car; adjust it to match your vehicle's real consumption for a personal estimate.
Is cycling really zero-emission?
Riding itself is emission-free, though food production for extra calories carries a small footprint — still far below driving.
Why count calories?
Commuting by bike turns travel into exercise; the calorie figure shows roughly how much workout you get 'for free' each year.
