Nice to see another paper from the @jonmcgavock.bsky.social lab on urban cycling. This study looked at if cycling-specific active transportation was sensitive to The Fresh Start Effect, with people being more likely to cycle to work at the start of the week. ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

This was a productive episode to do since I remain with the thought that the most important area of science we can be engaged in today is the science of scaling, or the science of using science.
