An army marches on its stomach The French Navy, in so much as it's possible, sails on a sea of wine. Finding the wine cellar on plans of French warships is one of my favourite games, tbh. There's usually at least one.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

people ask me how I can ride a bicycle in the rain, and I always hesitate to divulge the disturbing secret—to reveal the lengths to which we, the esoteric cult of cyclists, will go in our perversity, in our all-consuming, world-be-damned obsession: water-repellent clothing

The answer (to the headline) is no. Not when ebikes replace car trips, which they are more likely to do than regular bike trips. And research by @trecpdx.bsky.social and others has shown that ebike riders will ride more often and/or farther than regular bikes, making up for some or all lost effort.

I'm a reasonable man: if you overstay a parking meter, you should get a parking ticket. If you leave your vehicle somewhere it doesn't belong, like a bike lane or a sidewalk, then armed agents of the state should drag you from your car and sell it at auction.

There is no "war on the motorist". But there is a war, waged one-sidedly by the motoring lobby, against public health, the safety of pedestrians and liveable cities. Against us, in other words.
