My crankiest belief is that we are now being sold on solutions to problems which only exist because we've let others convince us they exist. That is what "innovation" seems to be in 2025.

There's a level of introspection that's just not happening these days re: what actually needs to bother us.

Strange how “maybe we could make it safer to bike” is somehow translated into Every trip across the planet must be made by bike by everyone in every situation.

Thought I might learn something new about promoting biking as a travel mode for everyone as part of my vacation in Paris. Nope, it’s simple. All it takes is protected lanes and lots of bike parking. The key is what I’ve thought all along: leaders fierce enough to make the change a priority.

“I don't wanna go far for stuff"
