Bike vs Car — how much you save at Lake Garda
Getting around Lake Garda by bike or on foot isn't just good for you: it avoids CO₂, fuel and traffic. Enter your weekly kilometres and see the difference.
Indicative estimates. Assumptions: an average car emits ~150 g CO₂/km; fuel ~€0.12/km (6.5 L/100 km at €1.85/L); cycling ~30 kcal/km, walking ~50 kcal/km (person ~70 kg, moderate pace); a tree absorbs ~22 kg CO₂/year. Adjust the km for your case.
Why it matters at Lake Garda
Lake Garda runs on cycle paths and lakefront promenades — from the Garda Cycle Path to the lakeside walks. Every stretch done by bike or on foot instead of by car eases summer traffic, cuts emissions and improves the air for you and everyone around you.
How to read the numbers
The calculation compares your kilometres with the same route driven by car. CO₂ and fuel are what you avoid by not driving; calories are what you spend moving. These are average estimates — change the km to match your real case.
