No, because it takes many more cyclists to deliver the same as one truck driver. Nicholas Geti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Madigan" To: "ProFox Email List"

That is exactly the problem: in the congested streets of any city trucks are filled up and then make short stops from one point to the next. They have to carry all the dead weight between each delivery. Usually they don't shut off the engine either. My guess is that trucks waste 100 times the energy expended by one bicycle delivering the same quantity.
