Actually most bicyclists are okay to bike in rain (yes severe rain does pose risk of fall but it is possible to bike in light rain)
One of my former German colleague used to bike 34 kms (each way) from late March up until early December

No no, Manu - just the opposite. Both plastics and asphalt are effectively the same thing. The binding process that occurs at-temperature is what secures the plastics chemically and physically. There’s no “washing away”. Ironically, plastics act as a plasticizer, making the asphalt MORE pliable.

Sadly, indeed tragically, you’re correct, Das.

Totally enraging, Manu - actual field deployments of up to 20% (w/w) plastic in road asphalt has been successfully tested, with exceptionally higher performance than control (just asphalt). Keep the particle size >1mm, then blend.

Oh, I’m squarely in the chem/phys side, but I do track a number of excellent engineers in the nuclear space!

Hi, Jo - I’m still figuring out how the hell to use this, but I subsequently posted more information. Please take a look at my responses to Manu - it’s all good!! I posted the three books I got published, mentioned my talks/lectures on YouTube and so on.
