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?
In my Danish city, taking the bike into town is pretty comparable time wise to taking the car.
Oftentimes it’s even faster - especially during rush hour.
And depending on your destination, it’s literally the fastest option as you have to find a parking spot to get onto the “walk/bike street” where all the shops are.
I take the bike every day. It’s preferable to the car for certain.
Yup, this is the way. People will take the most convenient and/or fastest option, so it’s on city planners to make cycling and mass transport more convenient and/or faster than cars.
If you build it, they will come.
