bicycle-only roads? This could help the obesity problems and help reduce gasoline consumption.

Your going to love this one. A medical study was concluded recently on bicyclist.

A weird unintended result was found. Biking creates more pollution per mile than a car. Their rational behind this is that bicyclist are found to have tremendously larger appetites and therefore the greenhouse gas emissions to create food and feed them exceed what a car puts out.

I got a good laugh out of it, but they said their study backs it up. Have to keep in mind since the advent of the catalytic converter, cars don't really put out that much emissions.
