Comment on Environmental protester halt the world championship in cycling... one of the best alternatives to fuel driven transportation....

Cycling is environmentally friendly, but let’s not equate world championship to cycling as transport. The event itself must have a lot carbon footprint. Still, weird choice of event to protest, but I can see them doing what they can to get the publicity they need.

I think its because of this: sh.itjust.works/comment/1915960

I guess big oil has nothing against cycling, as long as its the sport and not the mode of transport…

The event itself must have a lot carbon footprint.

Same is true for almost every form of entertainment but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the truly big polluters.

  Sources of entertainment have - by definition - more viewers and attention than Exxon’s office building.

    I always find it odd when people claim that something is by definition. Whose definition?
    
    Anyway, this event is promoting cycling and disrupting a cycling event does nothing to help further promoting any form of cycling.
