So, no cars downtown and no bikes outside. Cool? ;)
Bikes are fine. Way more efficient, less dangerous, no pollution.
It’s come to my attention of tire wear = microplastics
Obviously still much much less pollution, but some
Fair enough, and bikes also pollute with oil coming off the chain etc. Although I suspect pollution from a bike is well under 1% of the pollution from a car.
I bet all the bikes in the city are less than 1% of 1 car probably given the entire lifecycle of each vehicle.
