>>1747698Thinking that by owning a bicycle that you're free from fossil fuel dependency is the ultimate sign of being a fool who has no idea what exactly petrochemicals do, because gasoline is maybe half of what oil produces. To truly give up fossil fuels you'd have to say goodbye to:
>solvents>ink>artificial fabrics>roofing material>soaps and shampoos>tires>plastics of all types>pretty much any material that's not wood, metal, or rock>some medicines>tapes>lubricants (both professional and personal use)>other chemicals (pesticide, herbicide, fertilizer)
