Turning Parking Meters into Bike Racks

Following a 26% increase in bicycling last year, NYC's Department of Transportation will be transforming over 200 parking meters into bike racks.

The project is modeled on the creation of 16,000 such bike racks in Toronto, and is being considered in L.A. and Chicago.

Does this mean that agricultural land used to grow biofuel crops can be turned over to growing cyclist fuel?
