From The New York Times:

On Your Bike, Watch Out for the Air

A five-year study aims to find out at what point the harm done by pollution to cyclists might outweigh the health benefits accrued from the exercise.

Thanks Tim,
What an interesting study.  Read the whole article! I don't like riding between the curb and a row of parked cars, but maybe I'll rethink that kind of protected lane.

"Early results indicate that bicyclists in lanes that are separated from active traffic by a row of parked cars breathe in a lot less pollution than those who use bike lanes adjacent to the traffic."
