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?

    I am in a city where a car is almost mandatory. I can still push for change, while having to drive daily to pay the bills and such. I think your thinking is logical for your situation. Similarly, I chose what is, to me, the least bad option - a small, affordable EV. Over 50% of the time I have a passenger. I try to work from home. I charge on my home solar as much as I can. Fuck cars. Fuck unsafe drivers
