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?

I supply my 70 seat BBQ joint with bike & cart. I only get meats & beer delivered (kegs...ya'know). Summer is hot, winter is cold. I have excellent rain gear I break out 4-5 times a year (former Seattle native caught without one time too many)

It's entirely possible for a lot of businesses to switch to a better solution.
