Honestly, I just hit 100 days of biking to work and my car's gas gauge hasn't moved since March.
Ngl, I only started to save cash, but seeing that number made me realize how much less I'm actually putting into the air just by pedaling a bit.

It's a good start, but bike tires and parts still come from factories with their own pollution.

Yeah @jamie_brown49, but a bike factory's footprint is tiny next to making and fueling a car. The average car emits about 4.6 tons of CO2 a year just from driving. Bike parts might have some impact, but it's a fraction of that. It's about picking the less bad option, not a perfect one.

Totally get that. Switched to a steel frame bike years ago and it's still going strong with basic maintenance. The parts that do wear out are pretty minor in the big picture.
