The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.
E-bikes support fewer car trips.

E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers

The National Post is significantly editing Canadian Press copy, without notifying the reader, to push a Zionist perspective and to portray Palestinians as terrorists. It's completely unethical and a breach of basic journalism standards. A new low for The National Post.
A new data analysis finds the National Post quietly modified nearly 200 newswire articles since Oct. 7 to push a pro-Israel narrative.
Jason Toney from @cjpme.org breaks down how the paper edited stories to erase Israeli occupation and frame Palestinians as terrorists.

Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

If your home was built in 2015, your smoke alarms are expiring soon (they only last 10 years).
Check the date and replace them with the same level of protection:
Hardwired with battery backup Strobe alarms for added visibility
Interconnected alarms for full-home coverage.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Why do Dutch railways invest in shared bikes?
54% of users ride the train more often because of its availability. Without OV-fiets, 8% would use a car instead of the train.
Every euro returns up to €2,40 in societal benefits, with improved accessibility, congestion, and health and safety outcomes.
