  • Yes you are right and that is the end game post Peak Oil but a slowing in demand will give more time and a bicycle is powering down, smaller carbon footprint less energy intensive than the computer you use. As you say we are soaked in oil but transport is a big part of consumption. End game is a massive die off but a slowing in consumption will buy some time. Not claiming consistency as we wouldn't have computers if we both held your line.

    I did reach your position of bleakness but ...

  • @Carlstens I know that this is a post from a year ago, but I am sorry, I have to respond to this. You are right in a way, we will have to respond to these things eventually. BUT

    Peak oil does not mean running out. If everyone shifted from using cars to using bicycles our oil use would plunge and buy us decades of time. Comparing the oil used for bikes with cars is like comparing ants to elephants in size. There is more then enough asphalt for bikes now, if everyone switched from cars to bikes.

  • Tires are made from oil, seat, helmet, rain jacket, shifter handles, innertubes, cable covers, grease in bearings, asphalt You are riding on. How is steel in Bike smelted, mined, shipped, painted without fossil fuel???

    Point is... Peak Oil will leave You walking in whatever shoes You can make from scrap, by Your own creativity!

    We must begin to think of Peak Oil, more in terms of "World Made by Hand". Consider all things in Your life are now """SOAKED""" in Oil!
