...good amount of our euphoria comes from bicycles’ perfect compatibility with a green lifestyle. Boston??s bike-sharing system is expected to replace 315,000 car trips per year, amounting to 750 tons of greenhouse emissions. In addition to making a real difference in pollution levels, however, over 6,000 additional bikes on the road would also change the way Bostonians think about the environment.
