On today's World Day of Remembrance for Road Victims it is worth noting that in the two years since Wales implemented a national default 20mph (32km/h) there have been 25% fewer casualties on such roads with over 1,000 fewer people killed or injured. youtu.be/efr3uVKpOwY

I'm glad your mum's dying was so peaceful, & that our NHS services have made such a difference to your own prognosis.
Isn't it amazing that, with a 100% mortality rate, there is so little training for doctors about dying? What a difference the right care makes.

Electric cargo bikes can replace many everyday car trips for the average family and “reshape suburban family mobility”, say Oxford University researchers. 49 British households were loaned e-cargo bikes for school runs, shopping trips, family outings and other day-to-day use.
