   Plus unicycles are way more energy for the same distance compared to cycling since being fixed wheel you always pedal (even downhill) plus they tend to be pretty low gearing so more revs for the same distance.

   Thus actually these calculations will always be waaaay off for me in any case.

     Of course even if the calculation is any good the problem with this is that I often go on massive detours on the way to and from the office because commuting is one of the highlights of my day.

     What I did this morning was pretty much direct but last week for example on one of my commutes home, I unicycled probably 25km (I do not have an exact figure as I clipped off part of the route due to GPS issues).

     Well this is interesting from #Strava. If you set your ride as a commute they now suggest how much CO2 was saved over (presumably… a car journey!?).

     I have absolutely no idea how accurate this is but the concept is at least interesting as a way to make you think about things and encourage you to do it more.
