With cars there are higher energies involved, and things like that tend to grow with square or cube of the energy. I wouldn't be surprised if car was causing orders of magnitude more plastic pollution than a bike per person per mile. | ||

It’s quite intuitive to think about. The entire tread of the tire becomes ground up plastic dust. Cars burn through significantly more KGs of tires in a year than a bicycle. | ||

Thats obvious and goes without saying, but then I didnt state any specific metrics, only that they both casue the same thing even in different amounts | ||
