What about NOx and particulates?
… too soon?
Exactly, making the bike in the first place is far from the worst environmentally destructive phase of its life. The CO2 is just the tip of an iceberg.
You’ll use thousands of litres of water to wash it.
All that degreaser, paraffin, IPA, acetone, chain oil, brake fluid, grease ends up somewhere.
All that litter on the trails (no one admits it but someone drops it).
Yes avoiding buying a new bike if possible will help, but you’re kidding yourself if you think mountainbiking is a ‘green’ hobby unless you really do ride an old steel singlespeed bike from your door and dont own a car.
