Correct me if I am wrong, but isnt there a thread somewhere asking what bike He would ride?

Indeed there is. Needless to say it is subject to some conjecture...

Yeah, that's true. Perhaps I can apply as a job for a journo, beating up stories.

Indeed, there is polarization in the scientific camps on this subject. Who has the hidden agenda? Maybe both?
slightly off-topic, but...
There is a massive amount of conjecture and assumptions on the Ozone hole. It was only discovered by the British Antarctic Survey in the late seventies, proper research & analysys of data did not start until 1985. That's pretty insignificant in geological time.
Who is to say Ozone holes are not a normal process of the Earth's atmosphere, and the recent increase in size is also not normal and will naturally reduce in time with or without our assistance?
This also makes one question the validity of claims of human industry drastically effecting global warming. On the grand scale of geological time there is one singificant factor that put things into perspective:
The Earth's 'normal' global weather state is warmer than what we are experiecning now (an 'interglacial', or minor relapse of an ice-age). Over the full history of the Earth, there were no ice-caps for more than 85% of the time.

Sinfully flogging the ailing horse of my original thread...
I really do believe there are tricks for enjoying life in general that can be learned from riding bikes. Living in the present is one such trickforlife. ...(all those monks cant be wrong.) The very *present* present, where your moves do count, where youre not a horde dweller and have to be aware to stay ahead of the pitfalls.
Bikes make it possible to experience stuff that is crap routine (like commuting) with something a little "extra". As a consequence, my crap routine is less, well, crap. So is my day enriched.
And someone else did not have to invent it for me to discover, or write the application, or script the telly programme. On a bike, Im no mass-entertainment patsy. [Ok ok someone had to build the bike but theyre not there when Im taking it up Mangamuka Gorge].
Bikes are intimate and individual and you need to ride them the way they like it or they break on you. Theyre demanding and insistent and they punish you for mistakes. Bikes teach you to rely on yourself in making decisions and that there are consequences for the ones you screw up. And bikes teach you that the pack doesnt pay much attention and that its possible to go around them if youre careful about it. These are skills for life, business, and relationship!
Anyway, my apologies to anyone who just does it to get from A to B or who doesnt like to be meaningful and consider how to make daily existence more interesting. Ive got this feeling putting off extracting as much from every moment you get, even while doing the 40 hour slave act, is like waiting for a sunny day to go for the ride youve been craving - a waste of the time in today.
