This is a real article from The New York Times, and I couldn't believe that they would waste ink on a story like this. I have included some excerpts for your reading displeasure.
Warning: Reading this article will make you less intelligent

"KARL T. ULRICH, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, has put forth a provocative theory. Traveling by bicycle, he argued in a recent paper, may cause more environmental harm than driving around in pollution-spewing, fossil-fuel-swallowing cars and sport utility vehicles.
How can this be? Bicyclists are healthier, he wrote, so they live longer. Over their life lifetimes, they consume more energy than they save."
Just because you have a brain and it comes to conclusions, doesn't mean that they are worth repeating or that you are intelligent. I apologize for spreading such idiocy, but I was so shocked at this article that I thought I would post it for that shock-value.

You'd think the NYT would actually consider what they publish before they publish it--isn't it supposed to be one of the best newspapers in the country? This article seems to prove otherwise.
Enjoyed a lot!
