Ways we can fight back include putting frequent and attractive public transport options on the 2027 NSW election agenda, so we don’t need to drive to the Snowies, or local shops, or services. Photo screenshot of Smiggin Holes at Perisher, 12:20pm, 21/7/26 via www.perisher.com.au/reports-cams... 2/2

We all want to protect our winters and ensure our kids and grandkids can enjoy our precious alpine areas. But the fossil fuel industry and its allies in the car sector, media, and politics worlds have lied about their roles in creating and maintaining our hotter present and future. 1/2

There are plenty of food delivery apps competing for your business.⁣ ⁣ So why is delivery still so expensive?⁣ ⁣ The answer starts with a simple idea: competition only works when consumers can compare prices.⁣ ⁣ newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/…

I'm going to be one of "those guys on the internet". I raised 4 kids and never used a stroller. Cargo bike + baby carriers/wraps/slings/backpack did the job. I see strollers as an extension of car culture eg. you don't see them much in Asian cities

I cycled to Efteling, the largest theme park in the Netherlands, last week. Of course they have a huge bike parking area, fully staffed to check your bike in and out but only just seen that to encourage fewer car journeys if you cycle to the theme park 7 times in a year you get a free bike bag.
free bike bag for anyone cycling to the theme park 7 or more times per year

Printing at Officeworks, by bike. Thanks @crapulon.bsky.social for years ago informing me that Dimpa bags from IKEA will fit a @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social. Officeworks’ ACT stores stores lack bike parking, so bringing mine inside during the rain on Thurs night meant it was dry safe.
