So you believe that it is more energy efficient for a ton of compost to be moved by humans than by a single truck making one trip? What about all of the oil it takes to generate the food to feed the humans who move the compost? I don't have time to do the math at the moment but I hope someone else does. That sounds dubious at best.

How much extra food does it take? It's not that strenuous to use a bike, just takes time. Also, if the compost is used to grow food, it doesn't take much oil to feed the biker!

It's employees biking for fun and exercise (and good). Sheesh.

I apologize if you thought I was being rude, if it's all for fun and exercise that's cool. If it's more hipsterism then not so much.
