How much microplastic is generated during mountain biking?
2025-04-03
The Chair of Sports Ecology at BayCEER/University of Bayreuth, for the first time, provided concrete figures on the abrasion of mountain bike tyres in off-road conditions. Their findings contribute to a better understanding of the global microplastic cycle. They report on their research in the journal „Science of The Total Environment“.https://www.uni-bayreuth.de/en/press-release/microplastic-mountainbike
