"If I am not mistaken, a cyclists [sic] has an increased heart rate and respiration," state Rep. Ed Orcutt (R) wrote to a constituent. "That means that the act of riding a bike results in greater emissions of carbon dioxide from the rider. Since CO2 is deemed to be a greenhouse gas and a pollutant, bicyclists are actually polluting when they ride."
