“Several years later, my wife rides everywhere: to physio, to shopping, to restaurants, to doctor appointments, to the park — everywhere. She tucks her cane into her panniers. That’s important, because walking far still hurts. And cycling keeps us active and moving, which is important as one ages.”

Even if you, or your friends, don’t use the safe bike and roll network, there are thousands and thousands of your neighbours that do.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

Makes you think a bit harder about reincarnation. AH died April 30, 1945. DJT was born June 14, 1946, 13.5 months later, to a German father.

For Republicans who voted for Trump because their primary issue was The Economy, is this the outcome they had in mind?

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

Tulsi Gabbard is being described as an “advanced devotee” of a shady religious sect in Hawaii. According to a former Science of Identity Foundation (SIF) member, Gabbard has been groomed by the cult’s guru to rise to D.C.’s elite in the halls of government.

Although cults…

I just realized that bronzed fucking buffoon will be in office on our country’s 250th birthday as well as when we host the World Cup and the Olympics.

The Big Deal About Chickenpox
Chickenpox was almost a rite of passage when I grew up. My perspective changed when I starting working as a triage nurse in a children’s hospital.

Maybe there really are some Greek gods messing with us, and Trump is one of their avatars.

Yes/and if we're going to subsidize private electric vehicles — especially in a state with year-round mild weather across the most populated regions — then we should be subsidizing ebikes and micromobility over, e.g., the electric Hummer.

REMINDER: Those choosing to live in subsidized suburbs for a bigger house and yard are NOT also entitled to free-flow car traffic capacity (aka an “easy car commute”) into the city at the expense of the taxes, health, safety (hint: bike-lanes) & quality of life of city-dwellers.

To understand these long-lasting phenomena we need to first understand that acute #COVID was never a pneumonia. Not only is COVID-19 not JUST a pneumonia, it was never a pneumonia at all.
