Bicycles provide environmental benefits over motor vehicles by not burning fossil fuels or producing harmful emissions, reducing air pollution. Commuting by bicycle can prevent between 0.7 and 1.9 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year depending on the type of vehicle otherwise used. Motor vehicles are major sources of air pollution that increases health risks like respiratory illness and premature death. Using bicycles for transportation instead of driving can help address traffic, pollution, and public health issues while also providing individual health benefits and cost savings over automobile ownership and operation.

Bicycling uses no fuel.
Bicycles take a lot less energy to make than a car.
Bikes don’t require toxic batteries or motor oil.
Cycling don’t burn non-renewable fossil fuels, and they

4. HOW MUCH AIR POLLUTION IS PREVENTED BY
COMMUTING BY BICYCLE?
 The actual calories you burn while riding your bike depend on your
weight, speed, distance and other factors.
 Several tons of waste and 1.2 billion cubic yards of polluted air are
generated in its manufacture alone
 painting and coating cars produces 40 million pounds of air
releases and 24 million pounds of hazardous wastes.
 Vehicle MPG Gasoline Emissions
Small Car 35mpg 68 Gallons .7 Tons of CO2
Midsize Car 20mpg 124 Gallons 1.3 Tons of CO2
SUV/4×4 14mpg 170 Gallons 1.9 Tons of CO2

5. ADVERSE EFFECTS OF CARS AND
MOTORCYCLES
Passenger vehicles and heavy-Duty trucks are the main
sources of air pollution, which includes ozone, particulate
matter, and other smog-forming emissions.
The health risks of air pollution are extremely serious.
Poor air quality increases respiratory ailments like
asthma and bronchitis.
Particulate matter is singlehandedly responsible for up to
30,000 premature deaths each year.

6. Children can be more sensitive to air pollution than
people in other age groups,
Children breathe in more air in relation to their body
weight. This means that they breathe in more
contaminants, and pollution affect them more.
There is high traffic congestion and there is also high
risks
there are vehicular emissions that contribute to a
completely different pollution issue: global warming.

weekends.
