Some study even calculated that a muscle powered bicycle with a person that's mostly eats meat and diary causes more greenhouse emissions than an ebike powered by renewables. So yeah its nothing big

That totally does make sense: If I load my eBike from my solar system, the CO2 impact is zero. If I ride the same distance with my normal bike, I will eat more because I burned some calories and even if I eat them as plants, that will produce more CO2 than zero.
