I’d count my bike as ultra-low emissions since I use vegetable oil for the chain. Plus bikes improve the traffic situation in cities as Paris, Copenhagen and Amsterdam show.
Yes, defintely. In comparison to bikes, electric cars definitely aren’t zero emmisions. And even bikes have more emissions in comparison to no transportation at all. That’s why I’d prefer an objectively calculated number on the label rather than just ‘zero’. That number should ideally contain emmisions from production, maintenance and usage based on certain normalized assumptions.
