When I think of "green", I'm thinking of the "green" in my wallet. When I was researching and choosing a powered-two-wheeler for transportation; there was a lot of things I didn't know or account for regarding my ability (financially and logistically) to be able to be a dedicated, PTW commuter; and in reference to how money-green a bike is, for my rural, mostly highway commute that includes early-morning, before sunrise commuting; it's not very green, as I've decided to ride only in good conditions.
Just as one example, a good pair of battery-powered, non-tethered, heated gloves that actually work to allow for below freezing riding; are about $200. So this time around, I'm going to be a part-time PTW commuter, as I sold those gloves when trying to sell my bike.
