Don't cyclists contribute to global warming by living longer?
What is the carbon footprint of one of those fancy carbon fiber road bikes?
Why only 200 cyclists?
Is polyester a environmentally friendly fabric?
Just a few questions that came to mind... I've done a bit of cycling. :)

Spandex, Coolmax and polyester are different entirely. Polyester would not be good for cycling. It is too hot.
Thanks for the response!
