A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?

Strand Road cycle path: Court of Appeal judgment pending for 2 years as decision “waited with absolute bated breath,” says Minister Ryan
-- Ryan says the system is paying "small fortunes to write massive reports", even for smaller projects, to protect against legal risk. There's "a real imperative" to build the Strand Road cycle path as a key remaining unbuilt section of the Sutton to Sandycove route, outgoing Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan has said. He said officials were "shocked" by the original High Court judgment against the project, which would make the road one-way for motorists, and linked the court decision to Dublin City Council having less progress on active travel routes than neighbouring councils.

I am not sure if anyone cares
what a 27 year old with autism

but I want to help inspire others.
I lost both my parents when
I was 19. I was attacked
and bullied.
But it hasn’t broken me.

Can you share this post
