I am new to FuckCars, and personally, I feel very much aligned to this ideology. Particularly, the amout of environmental damage the fuel consumption causes, concerns me.
However, sometimes, I feel like I am a hypocrite, because I drive a motorcycle, which again, causes pollution. But, in my defense, I always try to use my bicycle if I can, and use my motorbike only when necessary, because public transportation system isn’t great in my city. Also, the amount of pollutants my bike releases is way less when compared to a car, or even a small hatchback.
The bike in question is only 160cc, and does 30-40 km/litre (~18-25 miles/litre).
So, what is your opinion on all this, and how can I improve my situation?
It may have changed but my understanding is emissions regulations on motorcycles tends to be much more lax than in cars.
Engine size often time changing the emissions standards, smaller engines often having less requirements.
From that perspective motorcycles are worse.
From the perspective of mass transit being the best option, motorcycles are worse.
Motorcycles fill the same role as cars, just less efficiently (saving on size).
The fossil fuel motor is the primary issue.
