Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off as employees earn compensation for every km they ride. 1 in 6 employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.
Belgian commutes pay off: Employees earn up to €810 for cycling to work
One in five people in Flanders commuted by bike and received compensation last year, but this figure is significantly lower in Brussels and Wallonia.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

The Victorian premier, Jacinta Allan, on Tuesday said she was proud to introduce the statewide treaty bill to parliament, which once passed, will pave the way for a formal apology, the introduction of Aboriginal truth-telling into the school curriculum and greater use of traditional names for natural parks and waterways.

My bike is in the shop for repair. Boy do I miss it, the part is coming from the other side of the world, it's small and cheap yet vital. I'm glad I can ride my partner's bike in the meantime.

NEW: The president of one of the world's largest plastics producers acknowledged in 1974 that recycling plastic was "not feasible."
It's “further proof that the plastics industry has been actively deceiving the public for decades about the recyclability of plastics” says @davisallen.bsky.social.

Passing cyclists on rural roads while driving can be tricky. I've been both the driver and the cyclist countless times. On a recent trip to San Juan Island, I was passenger in a car as we came up on a group of riders on a narrow road.
