An American lawmaker has cycling is bad for the environment. He also said cyclists should a tax to their bikes on the roads. Ed Orcutt, a representative from Washington State, an e-mail to the owner of a local bike shop to his thinking. He wrote: "A cyclist has an heart rate and respiration. That means that the act of a bike in greater emissions of carbon dioxide from the rider. Since CO2 is…a greenhouse gas…cyclists are actually when they ride." Mr Orcutt said: “You can’t just say that there’s no pollution as a result of riding a bicycle….You would be off more CO2 if you are riding a bike than in a car.”

Mr Orcutt also cyclists should be to use the roads. He said it was unfair that motorists have to pay all of the costs of building and repairing roads. He : "Currently motorists are to use their cars on the roads…so if cars pay for the roads they are , it only sense that bicyclists would also be to pay for the roads they use when they are actually biking on them." Dale Carlson, owner of the Tech Bike Shop said Mr Orcutt's ideas were wrong. He wrote: "People who to ride a bicycle instead of driving a car actively congestion." He : "They save wear and tear on our roads and bridges, and reduce the [ for police] to patrol our highways."
