“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport

Pedal power is booming, spinning up a new culture war

I love the WaPo's AI summaries of reader comments on articles. I find they are considerably more incisive than the namby-pamby articles themselves. So I asked Claude to summarize the NYT reader comments for "How Trump Has Alienated Voters for the G.O.P." Bang on. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u...

The comments are overwhelmingly unsympathetic to the disaffected Trump voters the article profiles. The most-recommended themes, by a wide margin, are that these voters turned away over gas and grocery prices rather than chaos, corruption or morality, and that none of them accept responsibility for putting him in office twice. Fausto’s line that it took “higher gas prices for them to reconsider” got about 5,000 recommends, and Barbara Kruger’s note that none of them mentioned “Trump’s lack of morality” got about 4,600. Many readers ask some version of “how could you not have seen this coming,” pointing to Jan. 6, the bankruptcies and New Yorkers who “knew from the beginning.” A sizable minority puts more of the blame on the Republican Congress that let him “run amok.” Plenty of commenters say they don’t believe the story at all: they think Trump voters are hard to poll, will “fall in line” on Election Day, and that the press has hyped a blue wave before. Others worry less about the voters than about Trump trying to rig or contest the midterms. A smaller but notable set of self-described lifelong Republicans say they’re not staying home but voting straight Democratic. A few commenters push back on the scorn, saying the “smugness” and “bludgeoning” of these voters is why Democrats keep losing them and that the party should focus on cost of living. Tavernise herself chimed in, saying that after talking to Republican voters since 2016, this is the first time she’s heard such a clear break from Trump.

Car math includes the stress throughout the journey. Bike math includes the relaxed feeling throughout. Both resulting in part from the corresponding level of uncertainty about arrival time.

After spending the past five days in Shanghai, I think we have to amend “cities aren’t loud; cars are loud” to “cities aren’t loud; internal combustion engine cars are loud.” Astonishing how much quieter the streets are here, where the majority of vehicles are electric.

I think about this a lot. In Europe, your vehivle is taxed by engine displacement. The bigger the engine the more you pay in taxes and registration. plus the price of gas isn’t subsidized by general taxes we historically paid for our navy to patrol the Persian gulf 1/2

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

This morning, the Justice Department went after nearly an entire state's federal bench, all at once. The judges had said the government wasn't following court orders. The response was to try to remove the judges. Here's why every American should be paying attention. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Texas officials just admitted DPS failed to send an unknown number of voter registration applications to county officials. Up to 6 million Texans have used that same DPS portal to register since 2020. If yours got lost, you might not be on the rolls, even though you did everything right…

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.
