The #EFL and #SkySports yet again putting fans last by moving Rovers away games away to Ipswich and Norwich to early kick offs! 🤦‍♂️
Putting money first and fan experience last yet again. Just about doable on train but any delays and miss start of game

If this happens and they continue to cut car fuel prices (approaching two decades without a rise now) then those in any doubt must know that Labour and this government is pro oil, pro billionaires, pro climate change and pro inequality.

To be clear, what is being proposed here is to axe the main mechanism for getting Britain’s homes insulated - which is by FAR the best way to reduce household energy bills in the long term 🤦‍♂️

…and also, just incidentally, an absolute non-negotiable requirement for meeting UK climate targets 😬🥵☠️

Public transport often treats bikes as a luxury—or worse a competitor—but without them leaves revenue on the table.

For 25 years, the Dutch have extended the reach of their railways through investments in (300,000) parking spaces and (25,000) shared bikes. The result? A doubling of train ridership.

Jackie J's take on Blackburn Rovers's treatment of their own team and how they then blamed the fans was SO on point!
She dismantles Venkys and points out their incompetence here:

Magic of the Cup? Not if you've sexist owners who've stopped funding the team resulting in double relegation. Fighting hard though. 3-0 to Bu****y after 34mins. Glad chose to watch this over putting money into our owners pockets #VenkysOut #FACup #Rovers 🔵⚪

God the West Midlands have so much improvement to do when it comes to public transport and active travel. What I've seen today whilst walking and using the train is truly depressing. When will the penny drop with our political and administrative leaders?

Hey #Labour members, Cllrs and MPs! Your PM & leadership have really messed up. When working class Blackburn footy fans (Labour for decades under Barbara Castle & Jack Straw) are singing "Kier Starmer's a wanker" after ten mins away to Coventry you really have lost the country. Jump ship to Greens 👍

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

❤️seeing e-cargo bike articles in mainstream publications

Word is spreading!
Love this on e-cargo bikes & family life:

“Forgoing a second car may have been the reason we bought it, but it was simply more fun to see my son grinning on the bike.”

“You see the joy that the kids get out of it, the time you get to spend with them … [and] it encourages you to use it more.”
Load and behold: should you opt for an electric cargo bike over a second car?
Cargo ebikes are ideal for the millions of short-distance car trips Australians take every day. Here’s how to make one work for you

Secure cycle parking and free repairs whilst you watch the match at PSG. Any English clubs offers anywhere near the same? Brentford think has best offer?

Yes this is so welcome and so long overdue. Horrendous to walk and cycle along or across there. Took this photo in March 2018, shows how much of the wide avenue space is currently given over to large metal boxes, most of which carry just one person. Do the survey Brum!
