TheFriendlyDickhead,

So you say because bisicles are not perfect we should just don’t give a shit?

The still produce way less tire pollution than cars.

  1. You only have two tires instead of 4.
  2. A bike has the fraction of the weight of a car.
  3. The tires are relatively thin and small, while car tires are just monsters. Especially those of electric vehicles.

So accusing that guy of double standards is just wrong. The problems bikes have are negligle, compared of a lot of things we use on a daily basis. And btw the tire pollution isn’t the worst part of an ev, by far. The production of the battery alone produces more co2, uses more resources and produces more waste (especially a lot of chemical waste), than 10 bikes produce during their whole livespann.
