This is in German and looks at Germany only. The comparison from page 10 on is very interesting. They look at microplastic emissions.
Spoiler: shoes (109) have higher emission than bikes (15,6).
Wind Turbines have even less (0,02).
I’m mentioning that, because some people here seem to think, that wind turbines are bad for the environment because they have abrasion…
And don’t forget the methane from your farts.
There is also tyre wear particles to be considered! /s
I understand your /s, but I find the metrics interesting regardless of why they were created. I’d be interested in my ebike’s impact.
