Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Doug5150

The spark ignition systems of gasoline vehicles do in fact emit low level electromagnetic signals. They were a major pain in the neck for some early GPS receivers that got their differential corrections on the so-called medium frequency radio band. Personally, I doubt they have any significant biological effects but, really, who could prove that right now with 100% certainty.
Being a electronics semi-hobbyist, I have the equipment necessary to do informal tests of EMF exposure.
I don't have 100% certainty, but I'd still be willing to bet anyone one thousand US dollars that they can't feel Jack Squat of any "typical" EMF's found in the home or on the street. There is no comparision of human sensitivity with GPS units; GPS receivers can detect satellites orbiting overhead in space.
For an extra $100 (up front!) I'd even tell you three ways you CAN actually feel "hazardous EMF effects" -but two of those require trespassing, and all three are likely to result in severe long-term health problems.
