This actually would be an interesting study.

Haha lol, assuming people in cars count calories and or operate on minimal / in a deficit. Regardless of the car argument, people riding bikes are more likely to be counting calories and in a calorie deficit, as they're more health conscious. People driving cars wouldn't care as much, on average, and would consume more calories than necessary, probably triple the "cycling" extra calorie needs. Omfg. I could debate either side, if I had to, that's the stupidest take I've ever heard. It holds absolutely no water. Where's the data showing people in cars consume less food / calories.

I'm pretty sure overweight tommy incel the reddit mod eats more than twice what I eat and has never touched a bike in his life

I am Dutch, have 0 cars, 2 bicycles, and I'm perfectly happy with it. I've only recently came across the first situation in which I felt like car access would be usefull.

A couple I'm friends with were pregnant and they don't have a car either, but since they wanted to be able to go to the hospital quickly and indepently, they rented a car for a week or so. This would't work for me because I don't have a drivers license. People often ask me 'but what if you need to do this or that...' and never do I feel like they're pointing towards a problem that I have. Just some minor inconvenience, if one at all. But in this case I thought, yeah if my wife were pregnant it would be damn usefull to be able to transport her by car, by myself. If it ever happens I'm sure we'll find a solution though. But I found it interesting that it was only the first situation in which it actually seemed usefull to me to have car access.

If this is true, then support a carbon tax without exceptions. All the extra food cyclists use will be taxed extra.

he's right, we all know that exploring, extracting, refining, distilling, and distributing petroleum and its derivatives doesn't cost anything

If the the Dutch are so climate couscous maybe they should invent energy-free travel

It's even worse than that! The calories burned show up in the atmosphere as additional CO2! We need to urgently strap everybody to a chair or bed so they stop burning all those calories!!! /s
