Renting a Vélib & biking around Paris is life-changing, 2€/hour
Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

To be clear, “Vance skis in jeans” is Vermont’s highest insult. This is Final Boss Nuclear Insult level in the Vermont linguistic hierarchy.
Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.
