What magic car do you own that doesn't pollute?
Chevy Bolt. It hasn’t polluted since I bought it.
Yes, I am aware that electricity production often comes from fossil fuels. Yes, I’m aware of the pollution that stems from mining and manufacturing. You’re right that a train would be more efficient. Yes, you’re right that I’m a bad person who should know better. What else ya got?

Humans need to move around to be healthy regardless, so any energy consumed to pedal a bike is immaterial.
