Bank. People around the world are turning to bicycles by the millions,
as governments rush to create incentives for the low-tech transport
alternative to gas-glugging, smog-making, traffic jam-producing
automobiles.
Some 130 million bikes were produced worldwide in 2007 — more than
double the number of cars rolling off assembly lines (52 million)..."
