Surprisingly enough, this makes acoustic bikes less carbon efficient per unit distance than electric ones, depending on the details of your diet. Of course, once the emissions are that low, this is more a curiosity than actionable insight (beyond the typical "less meat/dairy = lower emissions").

Yaaa I’m vegan which helps a lot! A solar powered ebike is probably more resource efficient tho.

"Acoustic" bike? What is this madness?

I thought you were autocorrected badly but I guess this is a term people use?

It's a joke referencing electric vs. acoustic guitars.
