Reposted by Bike Mayor BethFietser @americanfietser.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Street trees do so much more than provide green space. They visually narrow the road, calm traffic, and turn an uneasy asphalt runway into a welcoming, human-scaled street. It's a small investment that will pay huge dividends for a city that cares about its residents and future. 1344

Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-... 13470152

I hate those murder strips with a passion, requested their removal - they kill 10%more people than not having them and do not encourage uptake.

Bike Mayor Beth @bethcycle.bsky.social · 22/01/2026So sad to have to restart this blog already.
