Ride a bike to help fight climate change... but worsening climate change will cause fewer people to ride bikes. (lemmy.ca)

It was a shower thought for me this morning, after having seen all these record temperatures being broken around the world.

But, if it gets too hot to cycle, then people won't. And if they aren't cycling, they may start driving again, which compounds climate change even further.

Does this worry anyone else?

nope as it's not too hot to cycle in general, maybe during some hours at some specific days of summer but the overall year is completely nice

yeah, I'm telling you from barcelona and here there's no snow and ice on the roads/trails I use to cycle it's true but there's much more equipment and tires to cycle on winter conditions, so you can adapt your bike to winter, than the 0 equipment and components to cycle on hot, summer, conditions

winter wins, always

Exactly this. I'll spend more time not driving to avoid traffic than I will not cycling to avoid weather no matter the extreme.
