How much microplastic is generated during mountain biking? Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have, 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
