Carbon Offset
Someone suggested (in the pub) last night that perhaps our bikes, being carbon fibre, might offset the amount of CO2 produced from our flights to NZ.
A quick check on carbonfootprint.com has ruled that out...
Here are the calculations:
Bike: 8kg
Return Flight to NZ: 4335 kg (4.3 Tonnes)
Doesn't quite add up unfortunately.
So we'll need to start planting some trees when we get back.

Forget about planting trees, just buy lots of carbon bikes and hand them out to all your friends!
