Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6 kilometres each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, the study suggests, annual global carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.

They did improve on the bicycle not too long ago. The evolution is called an e-bike.
Of course, then we’re back to “but what if the electricity comes from filthy coal plants?” etc.
