Does recycling or biking make people less likely to push for climate policy? A four-year study of 2,778 Australians says no. ♻️ People who took more personal action were also more likely to join rallies and sign petitions. Full story: buff.ly/EZfK3BN 📸Cottonbro Studio on Pexels buff.ly/mTX3T0K

and God saw that it was good... ...however; man is evil in his heart, even from birth. God's good creation, unloved by humanity and scourged by generations past and present... until the end of ages. Is there anyone good? No not one.

Why I don´t talk about helmets? I lost too many wearing them. On Car-Free Day, 22 September, Nicolò, a seven-year-old child, was killed by a motorist in Turin. He was riding in the bike lane, wearing his helmet, riding to school with his father. A car driver killed him anyway. Photo Fabio Ferrari

Test riding bikes out of your pay grade is irresponsible. You should totally do it. Info #AltText
Picture description : A picture of a carbon fiber road bike with wide tires, disc brakes, electronic shifting, suspension seat post/stem. Leaning against a wooden fence.

This is a Calfee Design’s shop mule for a more capable version of the Manta.  This one has wider tire clearance (50mm), front suspension (30mm), rear suspension (12mm), and some shock absorbing components. Designed to be a do all adventure Bike that is incredibly capable. This thing has flexible chain days to do the shock absorbing in the back.  It’s really comfortable to ride.

The normal clientele for Calfee is getting older and they’re looking for a more comfortable ride. Now with more people going off-road these sorts of bikes are becoming a lot more popular.

Pretty overboard but I’m not gonna say no!

Bikes bikes bikes! (and some scooters) This isn't even all of them. 50 people used the organised bike bus to travel to this community event, and more came separately. But apparently nobody cycles in Sheffield because it's too hilly.
A LOT of bicycles of all shapes and sizes parked on the grass under a tree. It includes tiny kids' bikes, teenagers' bikes, adult bikes, and some cargo bikes. A very long chain is laid out in the ground for people to lock their bikes to.A blue gazebo a man under it working on a bike. Several more bikes are hanging from a stand, waiting for work.More bikes: two cargo bikes in the foreground, and in the distance some more bikes locked to a signpost in the park.Three cute little kids' scooters (red, purple and blue) lined up in a row in amongst the bikes, with helmets hanging from their handlebars.
