I’m a climate scientist by trade. Interested in interesting things. Ecology, complexity, politics, social change, music.
True, that’s a great point
My partner just asked me this the other day. Answer is nope, never had a reason to want it.
Never had a partner with a problem with it either. If someone was ever grossed out by something that’s just the way I was born then they can learn to deal with it, or fuck off.
Embodied energy is a thing. For the bike and the road. Edited my comment for clarity.
Maybe I wasn’t clear. I meant the maintenance cost for the road (and the bike, but I suspect the road is the bigger cost). Clarified in the original.
I was thinking show some breakbeat to some early house producers, but now I’m thinking Venetian Snare’s Cubist Reggae.
Caffeine is not particularly harmful at common doses…
Maybe you’re using the internet wrong?
I’m a big fan of bikes, I always ride locally. But I suspect this is assuming a paved road, and a well maintained bike, right? In wonder how that changes when you account for maintenance costs? Alternatively, what would mountain biking look like on this chart?
Edit: did I word it that badly? I mean, a bike is only that energy efficient because you’ve already spend a craptonne of energy building the smooth road. Comparing it to a person walking is not, unless you also do a comparison across rough terrain (that is still easily navigable by a person on foot)
Good point, thanks
