It’s so crazy how there’s always that environmental downside to everything. My family lives in a small space, we have one car and try and maximize our bike and transit miles (if the last week has been a preview of September traffic then even more so) but there’s always more things to consider.
Lately it’s been the great air-conditioning debate. It’s not about making our place cold it’s about making our place comfortable enough to sleep? Anyways, we don’t have one for a lot of reasons and I do my best writing in the middle of the night anyways?! Haha… ahhhh.
My friend Tom is the greenest mountain biker I know. He buys used bikes with a preference towards steel, he uses stuff WAY beyond its serviceable life (sometimes in scary ways like stems and bars) but his attempt at fully ditching petroleum-based synthetic clothing ended in relative failure. Merino jersey , sure, but the waxed-cotton waterproof jacket was like riding it a weighted hazmat suit and so can’t even remember what he did for shorts.
