Smart Cars and Bicycles

OK. The owners of this Smart Car in Toronto’s Riverdale district deserve some kind of award for their dedication to leaving a small footprint behind. We had to chuckle a bit when we saw this - the bikes are as big as the car. But this combination of energy efficiency is like a white dwarf: Small but incredibly powerful.

With 100 MPG for the car and about 750 calories each per hour for the bikes, a quick calculation suggests that this combo can displace about six or seven normal cars. Not bad really. It’s economical too.
