CO2 emission in the world is growing rapidly. We had many natural disasters already because of that and we have to expect even more in the future. We are the only ones - humans, who, can reduce CO2 as much as possible, so our children can enjoy beautiful and healthy life!

1. Why cycling to work might be a

5. Due to their smartness
sharp tools and fire were
started to use

6. After 7 million years of evolving
Internal combustion engine
was introduced

7. The new invention was adjusted to
many machines eventually

8. CO2 gases were produced

9. Over 30% of world’s CO2
are emitted by cars these days

10. The result of the increased
CO2 in Europe?

11. Huge windstorms

12. Destructive floods

13. Long droughts and
heat waves

14. The loss of €22.2 billion

15. And 24 million tons of

16. Nearly 23 000 people deaths
in Europe in a single year

17. Over 1 700 000 deaths in the rest of
the world over the same period

18. Expectations in the future?

19. Far more intense hurricanes
Serious heat waves will be common
Even worse rains

20. Did you know?

21. 3 200 000 people dies due to car
emissions every year in the world

22. CO2 from cars in 2002 in
the U.S. was the same as
If the coal from 50 000 miles
long train would have be burnt

23. That would be enough to
circle the world twice!

24. The U.S. uses about half

25. How can we slow down

26. By Cycling!

27. Bicycle: machine powered by
one or more human power

28. Has 2 wheels most of the time

29. And some other parts

30. Invented in 1817

31. Nowadays, there are more
bicycles sold then cars

32. Most important - it does not emit
greenhouse gases. What that means...
More fresh air to
everyone!

33. If we spent $3.50 on fueling our biking
instead of buying petrol, we could travel...

34. 24 miles on beef
43 miles on potatoes
89 miles on rice

35. 100 bikes could be build
instead of 1 car

36. $50 to build one space in a bike rack
It Costs: $8,500 to build one car parking space

37. Why is it better than a car?

38. First of all - it’s cheaper!

39. Money for annual car cost could
be invested into more than
$600 000 in 40 years

40. Faster at peaks!
9.1 miles/h for the cars
12.5 miles/h for cyclists

41. You could have some fun meanwhile
others are still driving

42. Health benefits!

43. Forget about flu and
other diseases

44. And extend your life time

400Kcal could be
burned every day

46. That’s 316 cheeseburgers every

47. Most of all
It’s fun!

48. Get your bike out of the shed and...
Experience the world in another
