    Merci pour tous les commentaires, bons ou encourageants. Le message important est que ceux d'entre nous qui marchent ou font du vélo (acoustique ou électrique) ont régulièrement une empreinte carbone plus faible. Études:

    Missed that - good to see attempt to use life cycle emissions. On which basis, acoustic/e-bike would be about 10 times lower than EV, and 30 times lower than diesel ICE. Not🚀science but there you go:

    . published report earlier this month (May 2021) on transport modes and emissions with pdf London's aging taxis didn't fare well. (Nothing in the DfT report about cycles, e or acoustic)

    If you see someone riding their bike today, give them a 👋or a 🙌, because there'll be a bit less CO2 in the air today. "Life cycle CO2 emissions decreased by −14% per additional cycling trip and decreased by −62% for each avoided car trip."

    Transport is the UK’s most polluting sector, with petrol cars accounting for the bulk of emissions. Switching from to for even just one day a week can cut your carbon footprint by 3.2kg of CO₂.

    Worth noting these are daily mobility-related life cycle CO2 emissions, averaged across 7 cities in Europe (incl. London). Over a year this can make a big difference. Sources: 👉cross-sectional study 👉longitudinal study

    Cyclists have stronger lungs 💪

    Here is a quick and easy way to test the capacity of your lungs. Hold your breath and watch the red ball spin while you count the number of spins. The more number of spins you can hold your breath, better is the health of your lungs.

    If electric cars will be cheaper to produce, they will probably also be cheaper to buy...👉more cars sold 👉more congestion. Electric cars are not the silver bullet that will keep our cities liveable.
