A friend gave me the idea :

- After Nicolas Sarkozy's election as President, some political scientists forsee strikes for the next 5 years (remember 1994, winter 1995, spring 2003...)

- other geologists have warned that cheap oil will end in 2015 or before

- an global-warming engineer calculated that bike is the least energetic way to move (in joules), and the 2nd least carbon diaoxide emitter (the 1st is walking)
