Bullshit: a city designed around bikes is a city designed around wheelchairs.
Not to mention asthma never prevented anyone from cycling. Maybe you won't win the Tour, but you can definitely commute cycling with asthma if your city is designed around humans and not cars.
- acdha 4y agoAsthma is an especially tragic claim since pollution from cars is believed to be responsible for millions of cases of asthma annually: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpla/article/PIIS2542-5196(19)30046-4/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpla/article/PIIS2542-5...
- myself248 4y agoSpeak for yourself, if you can bike with asthma I'm happy for you. Mine is exercise-triggered and anything above a walk lays me right out. Being anything other than a pariah on a bike path requires a minimum level of energy output beyond what I can sustain. Or are you my doctor now?
- carlob 4y agoIt is possible to cycle with less effort than walking, even with a bike with no electrical assist, what I was saying is that you don't need to exert yourself. Maybe you consider that being a pariah, but that's how in cities like Amsterdam and Copenhagen you see people cycling well into their 70s and 80s.
