It’s marginal gains all the way here but genuinely if you’re an omnivore the E-Bike might work out more enviromentally conscious

    I’m gonna argue the % of people who compensate their e-bike trips with other means of exercise consciously is somewhere in the second point after the comma

      Maybe so, but in that case this advice turns into “reduce your carbon footprint by cutting out exercise and becoming more sedentary” which I don’t think is a good strategy.

      If we were doing that, we could outlaw treadmills, since they emit infinite CO2 per mile.
