Oh, and since it will probably come up. In the show, they don't address emissions created during the manufacturing process... but they do in the online aftershow. Even though there are a lot less materials in a bike, their research indicates that the economies of scale allowed the cars to have equivalent, if not lower, emissions than the bikes since bikes have much lower production numbers.
