Ride a bike to help fight climate change... but worsening climate change will cause fewer people to ride bikes. - eviltoast

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’m sorry to hear that :(

    The problem gets even worse if you cycle in a city or even the suburbs, where I’ve noted temperatures at least 5C hotter than riding out in rural areas or through forest paths.
