NO KINGS, ONLY TRAIN

Found myself in a group discussing license plate readers this week and was able to hold my comments till almost the very end, when with adroit comedic timing I dropped my catchphrase, "you could just ride a bike".

This is a topic I have tried to push for years. Kids have a right to move around on our roads exactly the same as licensed drivers. You don't need a licenses to ride your bike in the street and yet cities do little to protect youth who need to use our roads.

As E-powered personal mobility use grows our bike lane infra needs to grow with it. Traditional 3-5' wide bike lanes are not sufficient and should be expanded to carry the variety of traffic and speeds. The old standards aren't keeping up.

There is a lot of chatter about Hansen's comment in during yesterday's press briefing that "2ºC is dead" To get on a 2ºC pathway emissions *must* fall by 5.5% in 2025. Then the same needs to happen in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 & 2030. Here is the UNEP's estimate on exceeding 2ºC👇🏻 ie "2ºC is dead"
