Your cycling fallacy is…
“Ketika anda bersepeda, anda menghirup lebih banyak polusi”
The response
Ini klaim yang sekilas masuk akal. Bersepeda, bahkan bila dilakukan sebagai transportasi yang santai, memang menaikkan detak jantung dan pernafasan, sehingga menghirup lebih banyak polusi dari kendaraan bermotor.
Namun banyak studi menunjukkan bagaimana buruknya kualitas udara di dalam kendaraan bermotor. Udara yang terpolusi bagaimanapun juga bermula di dalam kendaran bermotor. Ini artinya, orang yang duduk didalamnya justru menghirup lebih banyak polusi ketimbang yang ada diluarnya.
