- scott_w 8mo agoIronically though, cyclists inhale less pollution than drivers (who inhale the most)! Sources: https://usa.streetsblog.org/2019/10/08/report-drivers-arent-safe-from-air-pollution https://usa.streetsblog.org/2019/10/08/report-drivers-arent-... which references the BBC

- adev_ 8mo ago> auto start/stop systems Most start stop systems will disable themselves when the heater of the car is turned ON and the car engine not hot enough yet. As a cyclist (or motorbike owner), it is pretty usual in city to have >50% cars with engines ON at traffic light in cities when temperature are low.
