It's actually an interesting thing to think about- the emissions that we are responsible for, that is, just as humans.
Leaving heating and so forth to one side if you are "one of us" then you probably need a lot more calories than the couch potato that you sit opposite at work.
Those calories need to be grown, using high intensity animal husbandry and agriculture- massive CO caused right there.
So- just like electric vehicles which in may ways emit more than conventional vehicles we cyclists are guilty of causing more than our fair share of carbon/methane and so forth, just remotely if that makes sense.
