Bikes are made from metal that is mined from the ground and the tires are rubber that is produced from potrolium. All of that is bad for the environment. Almost all shoes are also made from rubber, and leather that comes from cows that produce methane thats bad for the environment, so you better be walking everywhere either barefoot or in handmade wooden clogs.

If you really wanna play by those rules you are JUST as bad as the guy you replied to

I am fully aware of the end of this line of thoughts, and it is not a good end. And I decided for myself that you have to artificially draw the line at some point.

My line is between the difference of a two tonne car with a huge fucking battery and a bicycle. Where is yours?
