Is a website you should check out with something along the lines of promise bikes. Though I don't believe companies/people are buying carbon credits, it seems like a good way to keep track of the miles/credits more closely.

The idea I am proposing is regional, self administered, self funded and self actualized programs. I do not want to wait for government or private bureaucracy to sanction or fund the real value of our cycling activities.
A Promise Bikes is actually a commitment made by a bicycle rider to use a bicycle as the primary transportation device in their life. There are several ways participants can enroll in a promise bike program.
- To pledge to use a bicycle with in a specific geographical area.
- To pledge to use a bicycle and pubic transportation for all
transportation. 3. Agree to log or document miles ridden. 4. Professional cyclist IE. messengers and racers. 5. Documented group rides, critical mass like rides where people use bicycles recreationally and in doing so are choosing to ride instead of drive for and evening. i use critical mass as an example because it is more well known but i really have midnight ridazz in mind. http://www.midnightridazz.com/ is a social phenomena started in Los Angales in 2003 Passing out serialized spoke cards and then riding twenty or thirty miles can add up quickly.
