minus-squareBedSharkPal@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up8·7 days agoThis seems like something Chat Gippity might actually be of some value: The CO₂ exhaled by a person riding a bike is tiny compared to a car’s emissions. Let’s break it down: Human CO₂ Emissions from Biking A resting human exhales about 0.7 kg of CO₂ per day (~29 g per hour). Moderate cycling increases breathing rate, and a cyclist might exhale around 4x more CO₂ than at rest. This comes to ~116 g of CO₂ per hour. A cyclist at 20 km/h would emit ~5.8 g of CO₂ per km. Car CO₂ Emissions The average gasoline car emits ~200-250 g of CO₂ per km. Even efficient cars emit over 100 g of CO₂ per km, which is still far more than a cyclist. Comparison A cyclist exhales ~5.8 g CO₂ per km. A typical gasoline car emits ~200 g CO₂ per km. A cyclist produces ~30-40 times less CO₂ than a car per km. Even when considering food production emissions for fueling the cyclist, biking is vastly cleaner than driving.
