Picture of an ebike
"Ebikes are insanely great technology. Cheap, rugged and reliable, they're basically bicycles that abolish hills. Once you've gotten accustomed to an ebike ..you'll never go back."
The mileage is great: 625 km per $1 (390 miles).
IF YOU BUILD A BIKE LANE THAT DOESN'T CONNECT TO ANOTHER BIKE LANE THEN YOU DIDN'T BUILD A BIKE LANE
Any councillor admitting on the record that they struggle to see cyclists and pedestrians on the road is admitting that they are a danger to the public and not fit to drive, and their licences should immediately be suspended.
JD Vance is on a historic roll:
He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.
Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses.
Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.
Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.
Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .
We have been continously asking An Garda Síochána to prioritise routine enforcement around schools.
Principals' appeals are being ignored & children are put at risk.
Reckless behaviour around schools and where children play should not be tolerated.

One of the things that is so positive about the transformation of Paris is it was FAST. Converting a choked polluted city into a space for humans to thrive, move, and enjoy can be done within a decade. It’s within reach today: we just have to elect leaders that care about people more than cars.
Israel is now doing to Lebanon what it did, and is doing, to Gaza.
War crimes every single day.

Donald Trump did that to both Denmark and Canada this year alone.
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.”
#Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing even better every year.
President Trump, "The entire country of Iran could be taken out in one night"
"And that night might be tomorrow night"

Active travel rather than sedentary travel is a big boost for exercise rates.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
An illegal electric motorcycle injured a Hastings woman. Media keeps calling it an e-bike. That mistake has real consequences.

Isn't it funny how so many people act all concerned about emergency services when it comes to cycle lanes. Yet the actual emergency services don't have any concerns.
Funny how they are never concerned about motor traffic congestion impacting emergencies otherwise. Makes you think 😏
“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), & a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.”
Connecting bike-riding with reduced dementia risk. #UrbanTruth
Maybe more cycling study trips or education sessions needed across the country for councillors and TDs?
Many still clearly don't understand the function, impact & importance of safe cycling infrastructure & traffic calming measures.

“I’m driving less. I don’t want to see the world through a driver’s eyes any more. Before I began driving less, I had long had a melancholic sense that the city lifestyle I lived was cut off...” #UrbanTruth
