You can hook. The Radon has always been there. It comes from the ground. Being afraid is nonsense, even if you can do an impressive figure salad with it. (Good appetite!)

But if you are interested, the page of the Federal Ministry of Radiation Protection provides comprehensive information:

Since you have met your question with ‘bicycle’, so I can get it: the load due to Radon bikes should be essentially the same as that due to bicycles from other brands. I only know the mountain bikes from this brand. Mountain bikes are more worrying because it may scare wild or walkers.

Where’s with us? Probably in Germany, but also here the Radon load is very different distributed. In areas with former or current volcanic activity, it is higher, mostly in mountainland as in the Eifel or even the Swabian Alb where I live.

All natural radiation exposure in
Germanyor more precisely the effective dose of an individual in
Germanyis on average 2.1 millisievert per year.

Wheel and Sievert can be converted relatively easily: one wheel corresponds to 0.01 Sv.

Radon loading in Germany:

  • Open air: 15 Bq/m3
  • Room air: 60 Bq/m3
  • Drinking water: 6,000 Bq/m3
  • Ground air in 1 m depth: 5,000–500.000 Bq/m3

It is also fluctuating from place to place. The average radiation exposure for a person is 2 mSv per year in Germany.
