Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Good climate policy includes making it really attractive for people to leave their cars at home. #VoteClimate #VoteCommunities #AusVotes2025

IIHS found that pickups, SUVs and vans with a hood height greater than 40" are about 45% more likely to cause deaths in pedestrian crashes than cars and other vehicles with a hood height of 30" or less and a sloping profile. Such a rule on vehicle hood height would save bicyclist lives as well.

I blame this on Donald Trump too. We have been watching professional cycling on the Discovery+ app for £6.99/month. Now it's going to cost £30.99/month. My love for MVDP isn't that strong.

You don't need to keep bending the knee for the fascist. Are there any politicians with a backbone?

This is so unreal it seems like fiction. The most scary things is that the most powerful men in the world are driving this agenda.

I had this thought that Trump's inauguration on Martin Luther King Jr day was a reprise of Hitler signing France's surrender in the same rail carriage. An act of reclaiming what they crazily believe they have lost. Let's show them who is really in charge... www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

Finally Biden has said the word: oligarchy. Why has it taken so long for the Democrats to explain what is happening?

This is a tragic confirmation of just how screwed up Musk is - his true colours. More tragic is that the majority of Americans will agree with him. Sick. Not to mention the outright deflection from their profit-first, human caused climate-warming denial attitudes.

i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!

We keep getting messages saying climate change is a hoax and the world is flat. Is it 2024?!

This has always been my worst fear about climate change: the worse it gets, the more geopolitical chaos it causes; the more geopolitical chaos there is, the harder it is to cooperate to fight climate change. theconversation.com/a-doom-loop-...

The best-selling motor vehicles in the US and UK for 2024 are both made by Ford, but that's where the similarity ends.

Sheffield’s first ‘Dutch-style’ roundabout has opened. Compared to installing traffic signals, the design is safer for pedestrians and cyclists, causes less delay to people driving, and creates more green space. www.facebook.com/share/v/18e3...

Amid the backdrop that more than a dozen members of Trump's Cabinet are billionaires, a reminder that this is what happened to income inequality in this country once the tax rate for top earners was slashed after 1980. Trickle down does not work and top earners' priority is themselves.

IMPORTANT STUDY: “On average, the implementation of 30 km/h speed limits in European cities demonstrated a 23%, 37% & 38% reduction in road crashes, fatalities & injuries respectively. Lower speed limits also yielded environmental benefits.” www.nrso.ntua.gr/review-of-ci...

@evernote.bsky.social how on earth must one subscribe if the moment you press on ANY button an advert launches. If it were not for your OCR algorithms I would long since have departed. Get back to simple, fast and good.

@evernote.bsky.social you are essentially making it totally impossible for my wife to access ANY notes on her free account OR to even try to upgrade because of your offensively aggressive advertising that essentially takes over Evernote and her phone. NOT the way to win back users.

Focus on effort, not outcomes. It’s insane to tie your wellbeing to things outside of your control, Marcus Aurelius said. If you did your best, if you gave it your all, if you acted with your best judgment—that's a win…regardless of whether it’s a good or bad outcome.

A surefire way to make a bad situation worse is to continue replaying it in your mind. The damage is done. The only thing that matters now is making the best choice given your current position. Next play mentality.

If you’re REALLY trying to “solve” traffic congestion, then road widenings and more car lanes are expensive exercises in futility — unless of course your REAL goal is even more people driving more often and longer in the same or worse congestion, fuelled by a lot more suburban sprawl. #induceddemand

Here’s the plain truth about the bike-lane crisis that Ontario’s right-wing Premier Doug Ford has created. He’s pandering to angry suburban votes that will help him win the upcoming election, knowing that he won’t win many urban TO seats anyway. And he’s counting on vote-splitting to win. Again.

This is important. Years ago, while I was advising the City of Sydney Australia on various things, there was an INFAMOUS day where a particularly bad state-level minister of roads was stuck in traffic and saw bike riders zooming by his limousine in a well-used, safe, protected bike-lane. Well… 1/
