Too big for Europe: America's pickup trucks became a trade war flashpoint - EUROPE SAYS America loves its pickup trucks. The Ford F-150, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the Ram 1500: these are not merely vehicles. They are cultural monuments on

The European Union is tightening the regulatory backdoor through which US automakers have been quietly importing around 7k large SUVs and pickup trucks/year. “The revised rules, expected to launch in 2027, are designed to close loopholes that Brussels says allow unsafe vehicles onto European roads.”

Tons of e-bikes at a park

🤯 It’s really, really crazy how much e-bikes have transformed life (especially for families with young kids!) in just 3-4 years. The safer streets and bike lanes that Somerville and our neighbors have been been creating are such a profound public good.

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.

"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”

“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon.

Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

I am once again reminding cargo bike families that the clarinet is a really nice instrument that your kid should learn to play instead of the tuba.

How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets Under Anne Hidalgo – mayor for 12 years until last week – the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

France has a great network of easy access bikes. Used them extensively recently in Avignon. Much of Britain and majority of US so far behind.

We bought an EV years ago and have so far saved over $7000 in avoided gas costs. And our electricity is now free because our solar panels have completely paid for themselves in saved electricity costs.
My interest in the price of fossil fuels is purely political.

Me on a little bike, looking pleased as punch.

Not an April Fool’s! At age 39, I have finally learned how to ride a bike. Just had my first cycling lesson and managed to stop and start and ride without falling over, which is more than I expected. Don’t know if one can simultaneously feel proud and embarrassed, but I’m buzzing!

Significant from Starmer. In this conference he *directly* acknowledges the economic disaster of Brexit and commits to a closer relationship with the EU.

Refusing to join Trump’s war, distancing Britain from the US and realigning with our EU friends, are all the correct decisions.

Fair play.
