Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

    this is carbrained in the sense that the article is proposing much needed vast changes to urban transportation and the first inclination is “but what about meeeeeeeeeee”

    I mean god’s sake the byline is “Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.”, figure it out

          I’ve lived in a desert my whole life and biked year around. 30mi bike commute is a lot tho. The most I’ve done regularly is 10.

          I like sweating though, after a while you get a lot of smelly junk out of your system. Its nice. Dealing with sweaty long curly hair is a whole thing, but so worth it.
