I look forward to the day that I can make money on my way to work by Carbon Trading on my bike. All passing motorists would purchase carbon credits via an e-Tag on their dashboards, which would beep as I rode past, depositing money into my bank account via EFT. And the very fact of riding would keep me in the black, so I would always have credits to trade. In fact, "riding to work" would become my work. So instead it would be "riding to the beach", or "riding to a nice cafe".

And before you complain that my bike would have to be offset because of the carbon expended in its manufacture, I bought it second hand and it is over 30 years old, which would make it exempt. At least according to the framework that I just devised.
