It is the year 2025 and I still can’t:
* Create workouts on my iPhone to use in my watch
* Create workout “playlists” that string multiple workouts together **unless** they are triathlon workouts
Is there like one engineer at @apple working on this nonsense?

Xbox said this week it will begin selling games at $80. For all but the top products, this price hike may prove to be a critical mistake. Why would people pay $80 for a decent game when they can get a great one for $30?

This map shows the distance to the nearest of 300 @ns.nl bike-share points around the Netherlands.
Users ride their own bike to the station and then can pick up an OV-fiets at their destination. This makes the bicycle-train combination a competitor for the car, even on long distances.

Instead of just electrifying the status quo, Dutch cities’ new Zero-Emission Zones include incentives to shift freight and service transport to cargo bike, with their infrastructure making it safe and time-competitive—creating a win-win for entrepreneurs and for cities.

Haarlemmerstraat, Amsterdam in 1981 and today. Still a very busy route into the centre of the city but now only for bikes as through motor traffic has been removed and now uses main roads nearby instead. Design your streets for the type of traffic you want.

I don’t even know how this Amazon driver did this.
Did they scoot through between the cone and curb? Or get out and move the cone, then move it back behind the van?
Either way, ugh.
This is a protected bike lane.
Not safe or legal to drive or park in it.
