Product Designer & Connected Vehicle Data Specialist focused on reducing CO2e emissions via modes sustainable mobility. 75% of trips by active travel (FY2021).
3/ In fact, 10 years ago I was using a car for this very job! Fast-forward to today and I now use an E-Cargo bike for 95% of my shopping trips including the supermarket and have done since 2020.

This is what carbon reduction and fun looks like. Buy an electric cargo bike today!

2/ ...what is extraordinary is that in the UK, most trips to the supermarket are made by car.

I'd imagine this is compounded in an SUV as they have terrible low-level visibility.

I will definitely do this next time! Thanks!

Apologies for confusing some people with mixed units - this is a result of simultaneously having to communicate with EU, North America and Japanese teams on a regular basis so I generally need "All the units" 🤣 Will definitely use 1m2 next time!

1 square mile would definitely make a lot of bread! This is referring to just 1 square metre (1m²).

That data point was derived from @mikebernerslee.bsky.social "There's No Planet B"

Given that you can fit around 18 to 20 Lime bikes into the same space occupied by a motor vehicle and Lime reported 4.5 trips per vehicle per day back in 2020 - that's 90 trips being enabled versus 0 to 4 for the motor vehicle.

Also enabling mobility at a much lower cost for hard-working people.

Hi Mark - that exact resource appears to be down now - it was addresspollution.org. Plenty of others though like www.iqair.com/gb/uk/englan...

Still 3.2 times above WHO limits.

We can also use geo-data and other tech used by autonomous vehicles to limit vehicles to the actual speed limit on every road.

"While China pollutes with impunity" - except that China reduced their YOY emissions by 0.5% vs USA who increased them by 1.3% largely down to surface transport. 🙈 🤦🏾‍♂️
