Getting from one place to another these days has been quite challenging. Rush hour traffic is such a headache. On top of that, there are the increasing environmental repercussions that modern vehicles bring about. While daily commute to and from work can’t be totally eradicated, it can be done in environmentally friendlier ways. One of them is through cycling.

Globally, only one in 50 new cars were fully electric in 2020, and one in 14 in the UK. Sounds impressive, but even if all new cars were electric now, it would still take 15-20 years to replace the world’s fossil fuel car fleet.
The emission savings from replacing all those internal combustion engines with zero-carbon alternatives will not feed in fast enough to make the necessary difference in the time we can spare: the next five years. Tackling the climate and air pollution crises requires curbing all motorised transport, particularly private cars, as quickly as possible. Focusing solely on electric vehicles is slowing down the race to zero emissions.
