It was a shower thought for me this morning, after having seen all these record temperatures being broken around the world.
But, if it gets too hot to cycle, then people won’t. And if they aren’t cycling, they may start driving again, which compounds climate change even further.
Does this worry anyone else?
I feel like most of the people who advocate for biking everywhere don’t live in the US, or they live in a dense, metropolitan area where everything is just a few miles away.
Bikes will never be a solution to people in rural areas. You want people to bike 15 miles to the grocery store, then bike back with a small amount of groceries? Then repeat that several times a week since you can’t stock up all at once
Cars have a place, pretending they don’t and can be replaced by bikes entirely is a joke.
People need to focus more on EVs and sustainable, renewable, environmentally-more-friendly energy sources.
