Doesn't matter much to me, though--I pedal to/from work and most errand-type trips, logged more miles on the bike last year than the car, so I tend to burn carbs, not carbon.

I applaud and commend your resourcefulness. We should all avoid driving for short trips. I try to walk to the stores near my house, for example.
Nit: The "carbs" in carbohydrates are still carbon - when you exercise, you're giving off CO2 just like a car, only not as much
