Cycling to work is faster than driving

An annual race takes place in Edinburgh that pits cyclists, car drivers, motorbike riders and public transport users against each other in a series of time trials at prime commuting times across busy routes. In the 2007 event, the motorbike riders won two of the races and the cyclists (not tree trunk thighed, logoed pros but ordinary cycling commuters) won two. Don’t really need to comment on this, it speaks for itself.
